The Snow

I sometimes wonder why I feel my heart of bouncing when I see the snow come falling in winter. I love to see the pile of the snow on the yard in front of my house. I used to be looking at outside from the window of my room when it was snowing. Of course, my feelings was excited to the snow falling, and I always expected to be covered all, such as grounds, trees and the roofs of buildings by a lot of snow. Then I used to wish that it comes snow in my town on the Christmas Eve's night when I was a little. Is that why I was a little girl? No, because I have still been exited to see the moment that the snow is coming in my town every winter. Snowing in winter seems to me something special. The nature has invisible power and might give people some energy or vitality.  

When I was a child, many events were exiting to me, for example, one summer day, I was excited to enable to ride a bicycle by myself when I was five or six years old. I practiced a lot all a day: my father or mother helped me for practice. I never gave up even though I fell down and hurt my legs and arms. It was a hot day, and I must have felt so tired, the sky which I glanced up might give me some more energy to achieve. The huge thunder-head spread in the sky seemed to encourage my mind whom tented to be overwhelm by my negative feeling. Finally, I could ride a bicycle by myself. Then I remember the orange colored evening sun. I felt so exciting, and my feeling was filled with the satisfaction. Also, I was excited to see the circus when I was seven-year-old: it was the first time to see the real circus. Every entertainments gave me an impulse I hadn't ever had. Especially, a trapeze which is acted in the air impacted to me and made me breathtaking. It seemed to be a fantasy in dream for me. Then I saw the full-moon in that night sky on my way home. It was a brilliant and bigger moon. I have still linked the full-moon to the circus memory since I saw them at the same day. So, I sometimes remember the memory when I look at the full-moon.  


As I am getting older, I might be less times of the feeling that my mind is bouncing than when I was young. Actually, I have exhilarating situations when I have plans to join some events or to attempt new things, such as going concerts, hiking or travelings. However, the nature gives me something impulse in an ordinary life.When I passed about two years after I had moved in Portland from Japan, I felt so exhausted for a few weeks. I couldn't recover my health condition even though I tried to stay at home and to sleep a lot to be relaxed my body. Then my friend took me to water falls to hike to refresh my mind. I didn't agree with her at first, but I felt better during walking inside the woods and to close the falls. I also felt that my mind or head had being revitalized in the nature. There are a lot of trees, river and parks in Oregon. After that, walking in a park which is nearby my house has became one of my customs, and I enjoy having the time with such a nice sky, river and trees.   

Any-way, the snow have still made my mind exciting and lively for a long time, and I'm looking forward to seeing the snow falling in my town this winter despite the fact that  I'm not little anymore.
