Female
Season:
Winter
Why:
While winter may seem the most unlikely season to love; since it's cold, bleak and dry, Miri
loves all the subtle things about it.
Yes, yes, she likes the snowflakes and sledding down hills a a wide piece of bark and sliding over
the thick ice, but she also loves the way every sound is so sharp and clear when it's made,
she loves how the trees seem to bow to her with the weight of the snow, and she loves how
you can wipe away all the snow on a stream, and still see fish darting around...
You can simply make music, in the clear wintry air,and so she does.
She'll sometimes knock an icicle off of a house, and then another one, and with the two, she'll
bounce them off another, creating a chiming noise.
Once she does that a couple times, Miri will bring in rocks, and surround the icicles with
different patterns, and she'll move them each time, so the echo bounces off of them
to create a totally different sound.
When the trees seem to bow over with all the weight of the snow, Miri creates a game.
She'll pretend she's the queen, and she'll race down the road, bowing back to the trees,
sometimes saying, "Thank you!" and other times, "I know name you, Sir Barksen."
Overall, she just loves playing, and nature never ceases to amaze her.
Finally, the last subtle thing she loves in winter, is when you go to
a stream with a thin layer of ice, you can brush off all the snow and look down at
the slow moving water.
It really gives you a feeling of peace, and you also realize that there
are other lives besides yours, and while they may not be feeling or seeing the same thing,
they can feel too.
