Snow Sabbath

On that day

the Midwest was a formless void
and whiteness covered the face of the earth
while a wind from God swept over the face of the lake
For God had said
"Let there be snow";
and there was snow.
And the people saw that the snow was good
For the snow separated the people from
their schools and their workplaces
and their usual rat race routines;
So the people blessed the snow day
and hallowed it;
On it they rested from the work
they would have done
And Yielded their Wills
to the Weather:
Amen
