We have all heard that no two snowflakes are
alike. Each snowflake takes the perfect form for the maximum efficiency
and effectiveness for its journey. And while the universal force of
gravity gives them a shared destination, the expansive space in the air
gives each snowflake the opportunity to take their own path. They are on
the same journey, but each takes a different path.
Along this
gravity-driven journey, some snowflakes collide and damage each other,
some collide and join together, some are influenced by wind... there are
so many transitions and changes that take place along the journey of
the snowflake. But, no matter what the transition, the snowflake always
finds itself perfectly shaped for its journey.
I find parallels in
nature to be a beautiful reflection of grand orchestration. One of these
parallels is of snowflakes and us. We, too, are all headed in the same
direction. We are being driven by a universal force to the same
destination. We are all individuals taking different journeys and along
our journey, we sometimes bump into each other, we cross paths, we
become altered... we take different physical forms. But at all times we
too are 100% perfectly imperfect. At every given moment we are
absolutely perfect for what is required for our journey. I’m not perfect
for your journey and you’re not perfect for my journey, but I’m perfect
for my journey and you’re perfect for your journey. We’re heading to
the same place, we’re taking different routes, but we’re both exactly
perfect the way we are.
Think of what understanding this great
orchestration could mean for relationships. Imagine interacting with
others knowing that they too each share this parallel with the
snowflake. Like you, they are headed to the same place and no matter
what they may appear like to you, they have taken the perfect form for
their journey. How strong our relationships would be if we could see and
respect that we are all perfectly imperfect for our journey.”

Our Journey
I don't take my whiskey to extremes,
I don't believe in chasing crazy dreams,
My feet are planted firmly on the ground,
But darlin', when you come around...
I get carried away by the look,
By the light in your eyes,
Before I even realize the ride I'm on,
Baby, I'm long gone,
I get carried away,
Nothin' matters but being with you,
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day,
I get carried away...
It may seem like an ordinary night,
the same old stars,
the same old moon up high,
But when I see you standing at your door,
Nothing's ordinary anymore...
I get carried away by the look,
By the light in your eyes,
Before I even realize the ride I'm on,
Baby, I'm long gone,
I get carried away,
Nothin' matters but being with you,
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day,
I get carried away...
I get carried away by the look,
By the light in your eyes,
Before I even realize the ride I'm on,
Baby, I'm long gone,
I get carried away,
Nothin' matters but being with you,
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day,
I get carried away...
