Going to the Mountains in Winter Brings Peace

We hiked up to our cabin this past weekend.

Our busy lives had trapped us

in the valley smog for too long.

Deep snow packed roads left us

to hike alone  

for miles

through frosted trees

and rolling hills 

vast vistas of frozen water 

sparkling like millions of diamonds

in the morning sun.

 

What I enjoyed most was . . . stillness.

 

Few venture into the mountains
when all is white.
For those who brave the cold and ice
 comes a quiet whisper . . .  
trust God
with all the seaons
of your life
all that seems wrong 
will someday yield to spring.
But for now . . .
rest
and feel at peace.
