Snow Person

Helping another person to become their better selves is a bit like building a snow person in winter.  You give the snow person eyes so that it can see.  So too, you help another person to see the world as filled with a wonderful variety of persons instead of good and bad depending on judgments about skin, ethnicity, orientation, language, economic status.  You give the snow person arms so it can hold something, just as you encourage another person to be open to embracing life rather than fending it off.  You give the snow person a smile mouth just as you help another person to become more approachable instead of anxiously frowning on life and the stranger.  Finally, you give the snow person a carrot nose.  That is for the reindeer who come by looking for something to eat!
