Alle Farben des Schnees (All the Colors of Snow)
Snow is falling today
and I hugged goodbye to my best friend at the Z. train station
10.32 departing from Platform 32
The very same train we took to L. just two days ago
where we had such cathartic honest conversations with Cami
knowing we have each other’s back, always
Snow is falling and everything is white, soothing
Beauty and comfort do make goodbyes a little easier to bear
I miss my parents, but I don’t know if I’d be able to bear the constant saying goodbye
Instead, I hold them in my heart, wherever I go
Both/and, could be, would like it to be
Kindness and understanding, and the space to be open and loving and soft again
I am really grateful for all the people I got to meet in-person this winter
Shared experience
Trust and humility
The snow can be quite blinding in the sun
The mountains, solemn giants
safeguarding
Quiet old town, fresh Alps air, hearty company, and walk under the stars
I was very much focused on not slipping
under my feet, but something in my being surely melted
Time is a special ingredient
Right place right time
and the right version of you that is
supposed to walk through that door
Door into
Maybe it’s time for me to tend more to my relationship with my family and friends
A place is only a place
until
You are there.
