So Q U I E T



Ice Age?



Have you ever been inside a cabin in the mountains with a fire burning, candle light only, surrounded by no one but yourself and your curled up cat and dog?

Have you ever been in a forest with nothing green to see but two Colorado Blue spruce Pines you planted when they were brand new babies, grown tall, with many years?

Have you ever seen so much wet snow covering everything you can see, so quickly, so deeply,

 now more,

 when your eyes were closed?

Have you ever heard the quiet like this?

It is so quiet in this winter wonderland not a thing makes a sound.

Nothing but the words inside your mind.

You hear your friends in conversation

whispering

encouraging words

don't give up

don't stop trying

don't be sad

don't be afraid

you are not alone.
