Doing differently: adapting to the snow storm
Today’s daily writing prompt is ‘What could you do differently?’ but right now it’s more like ‘What must you do differently?’
Doing differently: adapting to the snow storm
Snow has been falling heavily for the past few days and it’s even worsened today. Merely poking my head over the balcony and I could see young students from the school next door moving across the street and throwing snowballs at each other.
Our Church from the 1920s looks even more like a mosque in Anatolia right now. The streets are blanketed in snow. The question now is how will I be able to go to school tomorrow? And will I find many students in class?
We missed the white Christmas but we have a snowy start of the year 2026.
And now a bit of wintery poetry by the aptly named Robert Frost
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Robert Frost was an acclaimed American poet born in San Francisco in 1874 and raised in New England. He gained fame for rural-themed works like ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’ after publishing in England in 1913, then returned to the U.S. to teach and win four Pulitzer Prizes. Frost died in Boston in 1963, leaving a legacy of colloquial verse exploring nature and human complexity.
Happy Snowy and different New Year to you!
