We woke to a soft dusting of snow on the ground here in northwest Montana… and the sweetest flakes falling softly.  It felt like a benediction.  A cleansing. A layering of love. A pure foundation for the solitude and silence that will prevail today.  Time for reflection of all those precious blessings of beauty, love, nature’s embrace and spring unfolding that surround us so abundantly in these uncertain times.

I feel their strength and honor the gifts.

I will take in no media today to better deepen into this…

“We live, in fact, in a world starved for solitude, silence, and privacy.”

-C.S. Lewis

“Solitude is for me a font of healing which makes my life worth living. Talking is often a torment for me, and I need many days of silence to recover from the futility of words.”

-Carl Jung

May our world and the earth be healed.
