Rime Ice is one of the magical creations of winter! It develops when a cloud of super cooled and moist air comes in contact with objects that are below the freezing point.
The results are a magnificent Winter Wonderland!
It seems that much of what occurs in Nature has a practical purpose, but when it comes to Rime Ice, the only purpose that I can find is in its beauty! Its magnificence is a lesson in transformation, where Rime Ice exemplifies how the cold temperatures that most of us “run from” are actually what nature uses to creatively transform a bleak, colorless environment into a Winter Wonderland!
For me, this is such a reminder that hidden within most everything are ingredients that can be transformed into beauty. It is up to us to find them and creatively figure out how to change the dull, bleak, and unpleasant moments of our lives into our own magical situations. If tiny water droplets and cold temperatures can create the magic pictured above, are we not capable of transforming the dull and grey parts of our lives into moments and places of exquisite beauty?
Much of nature relies on the process of transformation and so must we.
