Dear Levi,
A beautiful ice storm rained down on Oklahoma City. Not like the one earlier in the month. This one was thicker, deeper, icier. It took me more than an hour standing out in the cold morning to break through the cocoon of ice encasing my car. I felt like Hulk woman, bashing the ice and watching it crack and fissure like glass, shattering as my fists sent it flying in whole sheets. Wow.
For two days, I marveled at the exquisiste beauty that gripped Oklahoma in an glossy clasp. It wasn't that everything was encased with ice as much as how deeply everything was frozen solid. The grass stretched like a field of minerals, huge jagged cylinders of glass sparkling in the dazzling sunlight. Whole flowers encased, perfectly intact.
Wow.
I wish you could have seen it. I figure you are home in Washington with your family. That is what I want... you home... you with those who love you... you safe and far away from this city.
I longed for my camera to capture the dazzling winter glory. The pictures on my cell phone didn't do it justice at all.
I miss you.
Your star,
Rigel
