A hush is over everything,
Silent as women wait for love;
The world is waiting for the spring.
Sara Teasdale
Crows gathered in the treetops just as a weather front approached from the East. They did not squawk. They pointed their beaks windward and waited. Meanwhile, the little sparrows had taken shelter in the pine hedge and the dove huddled beneath the boughs. It's amazing that something so light as snow has the power to quieten the world; even the crows.
