Earnestness: First Time in Snow
Do you remember your first time seeing and experiencing snow? I clearly recall my maiden encounter – the freshness of the air, the beauty of those white-flakes hovering around, covering everything with a pristine blanket. That day taught me something crucial about life that’s stuck with me over these many years: The beautiful quality we know as earnestness.
You see, on that particular day, back when wisps of hair didn’t top my head, our class was out for a field trip to our local mountain pass where it had just snowed. We were all excited and full of chatter along the way but once we arrived… complete silence.
The majestic sight took away our words; it simply demanded awe-struck respect. But there’s one thing more captivating than viewing such mesmerizing landscape – feeling its textures – literally getting hands-on’em! So what did I do? Rolling up my thick woolen sleeves despite bone-chilling weather (bad idea), I made ‘my’ first ever snowball!
The Lesson Unveiled
We giggled while piling onto each other under guise of making largest possible tower or even hoping to craft that perfect igloo inspired by TV shows we saw back then (didn’t end well though). Soon enough, tiny specks turned into handfuls until burgeoning anticipation could no longer be contained within humble palms.
We rushed towards the teachers only half-seriously considering this move as ‘declaration-of-war’. Upon reaching them huffing-puffing yet hearts filled with mischief & exhilaration alike, lesson dawned upon us like sudden realization which stops you midway through breath…
