Snowing

Snow in Florence and has been missing for twenty years as a spell that has transformed the face of the city. He had begun to sleet in the afternoon of Wednesday last week, but only during the night the snow fell in flakes greater. I was enchanted by the window to see the show ... The sky was dark, the white snow and the glare of city lights, and made him pink in the middle of the night seemed to be to get the sunrise. The day after the city appeared to have changed the white carpet, streets, squares, monuments, everything takes a different image, it was great to get out early, at seven, to see the show before the streets fill with cars and people, the atmosphere was hushed as
... I needed to immerse myself in the silence with the snow and I went to Settignano on the hill, to seek peace.
The dirt path that leads from the village to Vincigliata was completely covered with snow, I ventured alone in the woods, the road is steep at the beginning with ancient cypress trees, some gnarled and wrinkled. After the snowfall transformed the landscape appeared, his feet sank into the white veil, the silence, only the birds and the trees that we talked each with its own language.
the common nature, just to listen, turn the ear of the heart ..... Elf
I felt really free to wander in solitary in that snowy forest, enjoying the beauty. Every breath was coming in peace in me. At times the path was icy, proceeded slowly to avoid slipping in the solitude I did not feel any fear.
If you are not afraid with God, nature is God who speaks, it is difficult to completely surrender, but if you do wrap is an extraordinary experience.
I was long on the steps of an abandoned church in Florence to watch the show at my feet. Alter cypresses guard the entrance, I called them affectionately as "guardians cypress" I love the plants, every time I stop in this place I contemplate their branches to the sky and the hedge of rosemary around the staircase, when flowering the smell is very intense.
can not describe the beauty that gets inside you when you're up and leave. Next to their church silhouetted against the silvery green olive trees on the white snow, a fairytale landscape quieter than usual, I was happy in the solitude, the only human being to enjoy such beauty.
