Tiny Matters


Think about snow for a moment; each flake a design that might fit on a pinhead, each cold little piece of precipitation an extravagant scrap of lace formed around a grain of sand. Just one tiny speck of dirt is necessary to form that jot of pure white, and likewise each intricate snowflake is needed to create what we call a snowstorm, the falling of these many small pieces of wonder onto our earth. With that in mind, try to imagine the numbers accumulated in two feet of fluff, attempt to wrap your mind around the sheer immensity held in such a flurry of creativity.
