Seattle had another snowstorm today. These images are from the one we enjoyed on Sunday. Lots of play and frolicking happening here at the Abbey today. And our dog Winter loves to play in the snow, who would have guessed?
Monk in the World Guest Post: Michael Moore
I am delighted to share another beautiful submission to the Monk in the World guest post series from the community. Read on for Wisdom Council member Michael Moore’s reflection on Sabbath and Silence. I am thankful to Christine and the Abbey community for this opportunity

We are having a snowless winter here on Long Island —so far. While my old body is not missing the trudging , slushing, slipping , sliding , boot wearing drudgery of snow, I find my soul is missing it’s stark beauty and silence and especially the radiance of the sun the morning after. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your Seattle landscape. And when we do get our share of the white wonder that is snow, I will remember that “All is gift.”
These made me so happy…there is just something utterly transforming about snow, it brings out the child and wonder in us all. Thank you so much for posting!
Ditto to all of the above: what a lovely treat for these Florida eyes!….good to see new photos of that gorgeous dog Winter, with a bit of winter thrown in :)
Beautiful photos, Christine! Thank you. I am taking delight in Winter’s delight. Sending you gratitude and warm thoughts from Florida.
oh that looks so lovely
snow play
snow beauty
snow envy
;-)
Such beauty, Christine! And the joy on the 4-legged Winter’s face is so obvious!
Winter looks born for winter – what a beautiful dog! I always appreciate your photos.
So lovely! thank you for sharing these photos. Here in the San Francisco Bay Area we are expecting much needed rain. It will be a winter blessing.
This is so beautiful! And what sweetie Winter is! I’m trying very hard to find the beauty of winter in NW Iowa–not much snow right now, but our temperatures are going well below zero and windy. Being outside is not an option, so I really appreciate you sharing the photos.
Just beautiful. Food for the soul is all around us!
