Winter Wonderland


The calm magical moments of snow gently falling.


Makes me pause. Inner joy!


Absorb. Wrap my mind around it.  Reflect. 


When chaos happens and balance is lost, I surround myself in these memories. These moments.  And I am whole. 


And it is here in these memories that I restore my faith in people and the world.  Happiness. Centered. At rest. 


The silence of a snowy forested path.  Peaceful bliss.  My personal Xanadu.


Oh gentle snow.  You are as majestic as you are graceful.


May you stay forever in my memory.

    You are so positive Chris. I hate snow as when it does fall, it mostly stops my birding.

    Wonderful post, Chris. Looking at the snow did give me goosebumps. The elk are a great sight to see. Happy birding, enjoy your week!
