All Alike
"Closer to the office, the local hearth, Starbucks on Forty-second and Sixth, even has a sign that reads, “Friends are like snowflakes: beautiful and different.” This thought seems so comforting, so improving and plural-minded, that one begins to wonder whether it is truly so. Are snowflakes really different—or, rather, how different are they, really?"
“All Alike” is a beautiful meditation on the life cycle and individuality of a snowflake, inspired in large part by Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley’s dazzling photographs from the turn of the century. Adam Gopnik provides the perfect window into a classic metaphor, and the venue for a deliberation more relevant now than ever.
“All Alike” was included as part of the Thornwillow Dispatch in December 2019. To join the community of ideas and subscribe to future publications like this one, visit www.thornwillow.com/thornwillow-dispatch
