The full moon is rising over snow covered mountains
Its cold light is reflecting from sparkling fresh snow
Breathless silence of a cold winter night awaits us
Dog paws are crunching in deep snow
We are gathering around a pile of wood
Anticipating warmth
Stiff fingers are igniting a match
Flames start flickering hesitantly
We move closer
Finally, we feel the warmth
The flames are consuming the wood
Sparking ancient memories, connecting us to people who are seeking the warmth of a fire: now, before and after our time
Life is good
Beautiful.
