Extracts from a Snow Diary

These pieces are in tribute to the incredible range of Japanese observation, appreciation, and consciousness around snow. I have been inspired to also write poetry from the same source. This field is so rich – these can only ever be extracts taken from an infinite progression of nature. The states do not often last long – these pieces are thus short. I hope the atmosphere set up by each can heighten the appreciation, perception and consciousness of this beauty. In a world filled with so much anger, violence and division – this feels like a snow flake in the wind. So – let it land upon your ears, your fingers and enjoy these pieces.
