A Walk In The Woods



A peaceful walk in the woods, deafening silence.
No one is home. The only thing you hear is the sound
of the hard-packed snow breaking beneath your feet.
The birds are hibernating. You can see your breath,
so you know you're alive.

"We do not remember days, we remember moments"
c. 1940 -Italian poet, Cesare Pavese

May you all have precious moments that mark your
journey. My best and thank-you for your kind words.

I woke up to your photo and prose. What a wonderful way to wake up.

When I went to Tahoe, years ago, we stayed in a cabin and the first night, we watched "The Evil Dead." Horrific story of a bunch of people alone in a remote cabin and things go terribly awry. The next day, we went for a walk and saw one of our neighbors. We could swear he was one of the actors from the movie. He scared the hell out of us. I haven't thought of that in years. I remember those moments.

This photo looks exactly like the place we stayed in.

A great week-end to you!
