Breathless Morning

When I opened my eyes at 6:00 AM, the world was holding its breath. I padded to the window to peer out onto an Earth asleep under its downy winter blanket, and I felt peace. I don't even dare go out to take a picture for fear of shattering the blessed stillness. I become part of the silent miracle for an endless moment, and I think, "At last, this is a snow day."

A light has just come on in the hall: the silence will soon yield to Act One of The Snow Circus. . . the world exhales, and we begin.
