Terry Turner Copyright 10 April, 2001
Spring has raised its green and yellow bonnet only to be crowned by an unexpected cap of April snow in Taos.
A wonderful, thick, sunlight obscuring, heavy April snow falls like a blizzard at the moment.... perhaps it will stick long enough for a pleasant afternoon or two!
I love the brilliant whiteness of snow. Its unmarred purity suggests better times, better days, and better places. Snow reminds me an old piece, Hemingway’s A Clean Well Lighted Place. A clean place with pristine white tablecloths and bright lights. A place that can delay that which one might prefer not to encounter.
Decades and decades have rolled away since I read it. I can't quite bring it to the foreground of my memory, but white coffee cups on white tablecloths with some good plate or silver and real cream in a heavy creamer will invariably open the doors for a new line of thought. Such images and aromas give one a sense of new potentials for a new virgin day.
The whiteness, the ceremonial whiteness reminds one of a first baptismal, or perhaps the waiter's white shirt, white apron and black tie suggest the feeling of a confessional. But he, or she, who would take the confession, must have a whiter and wider cloth than most,
for such as they often hear too much for their own good. So a great blanketing Taos snow is needed to soften, to clean away, to dissolve and wash away dark thoughts, dark words, and dark places.
The snow gathers light and hurls back all manner of darkness. Don’t they say there is no darkness, only the absence of light?
