A Gift from Heaven

Today is the start of the Lunar New Year long holiday weekend in South Korea. It just so happens that today was also the biggest snowfall so far since I came to Korea.

It may seem strange for those of you in Canada and elsewhere who have maybe had enough of Winter, but this snow was like a gift for me. I bundled up and went for a walk to enjoy the snow and the beautiful scenery.

When I arrived at the Dangun statue at the Peace Park, the sky opened and became blue. I looked up and it seemed like Dangun, who normally has a pretty stern expression on his face, was smiling as he touched the clouds. I smiled too and was thankful for the snow and for the beautiful blue sky--a gift from heaven.
