0:00 Crystal the snowflake began her journey with a tiny leap.0:06 She was leaving her cloud-home, the very same one that our friend Luna the moonbeam had painted silver just last night on her own gentle journey to Earth.0:25 But tonight, the cloud was a soft, grey cradle, and it was time for Crystal to go exploring.0:36 Her sisters and brothers danced around her, each one a tiny, perfect star of ice.0:46 One by one, they let go, drifting down into the quiet dark.0:53 And then, it was her turn.0:57 She took a deep breath of cold air and simply… fell.1:03 But it wasn't a scary fall.1:06 Oh, no.1:07 It was more like floating.1:10 The air was a soft pillow that held her up and spun her around in a slow, silent waltz.1:21 She looked down.1:23 The world was a patchwork of dark and light.1:28 She saw the tall, sleeping shapes of pine trees, their branches waiting for her.1:38 She saw a little yellow square of light from a window, where perhaps someone was warm and cozy in their bed.1:51 She wondered where she would land.1:55 Would it be on a branch?1:58 Or on a rooftop?2:00 The falling felt like it could last forever.2:05 A long, peaceful, quiet drift through the night sky.2:12 Down, down, down she went, tumbling in the gentle current.2:19 She wasn't afraid.2:21 She was full of a quiet wonder.2:25 She passed one of her brothers, and they twirled together for a moment before drifting apart again.2:37 Goodbye, she whispered on the wind.2:41 She saw the ground getting closer now.2:46 It wasn't dark and hard.2:48 It was… white.2:50 A vast, soft, sparkling blanket was already there, waiting.2:57 And as she got closer, she could see it was made of millions… no, BILLIONS of other snowflakes, just like her.3:11 They had all finished their journey and were nestled together.3:18 And in that moment, she understood.3:23 Her journey wasn't over.3:25 It was just changing.3:28 She landed without a sound, a perfect little star settling onto the tip of a pine needle already heavy with snow.3:42 She nestled in next to another snowflake, and then another.3:49 They weren't just falling anymore.3:53 Now, they were TOGETHER.3:56 They were becoming a blanket to keep the little seeds in the ground warm.4:05 They were becoming the quiet that covers the world, making everything clean and new and peaceful.4:17 Her long fall was done, and now, her long, wonderful rest had just begun.
