The Bitter Cold Says Hush, Be Still—Sunday, January 8, 2017

brrrrr-001

It’s cold here!  So cold that your lungs feel frozen when you try to breathe.

brrrrr-002

There is a hush upon the land, a stillness that says…shhhh, step softly, go carefully, do not disturb the silence of the sleeping earth.

Still there is a wonderful beauty of the evening sky—the jagged pink line of snow covered mountains

As the setting sun brings to us the darkness…flowing in quietly all around us

If I could do so I  would be able to catch myself on the hook of that growing moon.  Then I would skip and jump from one glowing star to another— walking among the vault of heaven, which arches over our magnificent earth.

From my world to your heart
