Late afternoon sun creates patches of light on the floor.  The shadows of snowflakes dance through the spots.  Looking out the window, I watch the snowflakes swirl downward, the sunlight turning them into glittering prisms.  I am stuck on how to create the image I want, and chaos is thundering through the house with the bickering voices of little girls.  The quite of the falling snow in its shadows and glitter causes me to stop fretting, the noise fades into the background, and I take a moment to enjoy.
