A snowball story from A Wanderer’s Tale:

I so rarely have felt it in my life. I have felt accomplishment and pleasure and relaxation…but rarely joy.

Until today…today in Portland there was a boreal snowstorm…wicked cold…and this is me saying its cold. But while on patrol I gathered up a handful of snow and I made a snowball. That’s it just a snowball..and then I threw it a Red cross fleet car. It hit the rear windshield and asploded. That’s it.

But I just started laughing like a four year old. I laughed for like ten minutes…just non stop. IT was different and I just knew it….I hadn’t felt like that for years. It didn’t last..but for a fleeting moment…I was just purely joyful.
