You can determine the shape of snowflakes by surrounding conditions, the symmetry of dust particles frozen into crystals that sprout arms and legs different directions off one central core based on temperature. Each snowflake follows a different path from sky to ground, atmosphere that shapes it unique as prism, needle, or lace. A child crafts the shapes of snowflakes into snowball, snowman, or snowcave through the changes in atmosphere from height to height and fall to fall, cloud to ground and back again, world changing world, angry, happy, sad, one atom, one molecule, one heart, one brain, one of many, feeling, thought, the same breath, unique in the motivation to explore its origin, discover anew, then slowly melt away.
