It was in the end of
march 2007. it should be spring time already, but weird enough the snowfall was
so heavy at that day. It almost reached
my knees by evening. Everyone surprised, but this out of season snowfall
was really beautiful. This is a photo I took when I was walking back home from
school at that time. We (my friends and I) were cold. We wore no winter jacket,
cause it was spring time already. We were cold but still this snowfall hold our
breathe in awe.
"How
mysterious life is. How great this world and it's creator." in a foreign
land where I wasn't used to it yet, I had such thoughts. At that time, my mind
flew right to my family and friends in my beloved tropical homeland. How hot it
must be there in my coastal hometown. Yet, here in the same earth, it was
freezing cold! I remember I was reaching out my hands trying to catch some of
those snowfall. "this is water. In my hometown, this snowfall would come
as pouring rain." it's just a matter of form, but the mood it brings was
so different. It was all white and
quite. I feel so calm and at ease. I can't deny that sometimes I swore because
of the cold. Well, I can't do anything about it. I was raised in a country
where the everday temperature was never go down more than 25°C. Yet, in winter days the temperature could
reach -10°C... But still, even now I still miss this scenery
sometimes. It's just another proof of how mighty and crafty the Creator is.
There, in the cold and white snow, I found myself wondering about GOD and how
is HE able to carefully create this little piece of snowflake one by one. His
thoroughness is so wonderful, I can't find words good enough to explain what I
thought at that time.
