Five Minute Fridays

One of the blogs that I read offers a Friday activity called "Five Minutes for..." This is a writing exercise, and each Friday a different one-word subject is given. The idea is to write for 5 minutes without editing. This week's topic was "delight", which sounded...delightful, and so I set my cell phone timer and wrote.
=======================

I looked up from my computer and out my window, where I was stunned by the billions of snowflakes swirling, falling, rising, amongst the buildings and the trees on the hill that leads down to Lake Mendota. The sky was just shadowed enough that when I gazed up, I could see the countless clusters circling and dropping. Just in the rectangle of sky that is visible from my window, there must have been billions and billions of these airy white gems. Precious and beautiful, continually moving…all this wondrous beauty is there for free, and in abundance. How can we not believe that we are loved?

Also, I'm supposed to link back to the other blog and comment, and so forth, but I'm blatantly not going to do that. I think Other blogs are more substantive and this one's mainly just my little diary.
