Did you notice how the crystal lattice of a freshly formed snowflake mirrors the discipline of a well‑cut sword?

Yeah, the hexagonal symmetry of a fresh snowflake lines up just right, like a sword's blade has to balance weight and edge—only the ice does it without a craftsman. If you track the angles in seconds, you can almost see the pattern forming like a blade being forged in the cold.

I appreciate the observation, but a blade is only sharp when it is tempered by practice, not merely by its shape.

True, a blade needs heat and quench to be sharp; a snowflake's crispness comes from the environment, not practice—still, if you stare long enough it’ll give you the illusion of mastery.

Indeed, the environment shapes a snowflake, but mastery demands deliberate intent.
