Melting or Freezing...my thoughts on snowflakes

I've never had the opportunity to be a special snowflake, but I see everyone is special and yet we remain the same... Humans.
Snowflakes eventually melt and join the rest of us that are floating about in the oceans, lakes, rivers, streams, swamps, ponds and puddles.

I choose to float down the river of life and into the ocean, riding out the changing tides with the still calm of a pond, surrounded by lotus flowers.
The Lotus comes out of the murky waters to open in purity to the sky above.
I look to God through the teachings of the Lord Christ for my Eternity on this beautiful Earth... and continue to seek answers to the never ending mysteries.

Snowflakes can either melt or freeze into Glaciers, separated yet together... ultimately separating their selves off from the rest, finding cold comfort in their perceived uniqueness... and yet we are all still Human.

Thank you for reading my thoughts about snowflakes... until we may use the word no more...?

And some snowflakes never reach the ground. They are forever trapped in a relentless cycle of formation & evaporation. Forever falling and rising in the aether. Alone, they never have the opportunity to join anyone or see the beauty below. Only if they accept change, and move to where the conditions are accepting, can they fully reach the ground. Only then can they join us along that ride of which you speak. We must help them move to a place where they can make that realization, to where the conditions are amenable, or we too are bound to repeat the cycle ourselves.

I agree We must move with the wind, guiding the snowflakes onto the ever changing planet we share, where there are challenges, confrontations and situations that serve to help us grow in mind and spirit...
Life is not always easy and I personally believe it wasn't meant to be, but it is wonderful to be alive! Nonetheless.😊

But we must be prepared for those snowflakes that refuse to change, refuse to move with the wind. We cannot force a direction, it is up to them to be prepared to ride the wind, and risk not knowing where. They must learn to trust it will lead them to paradise eventually.

I weep for those snowflakes.

So sorry for anyone that clicked on the Lotus link in the OP and got glaciers.
This post has correct link now.
