Silence in the snow






It was a sheer 45 foot drop. We all stood in silence as we gazed off of the cliff. There was no sound and no movement. Even the sound of water had frozen. The sun glazed over the frozen debres of rocks and gravel. This spot was special. We remembered a friend who was almost lost. Learned to appreciate life just a little more that day. For what should have meant death. Made life seem so much more important.

This week I slept in the back of a cave....with little or arguably no preparation. As I lay awake desperately trying to gain what little warmth was possible given the situation I was in. I had a chance to contemplate what I really had in life. I warm bed. To that which I am now more grateful. Food, clothes, a stove and the ability to shower without dropping ones body temperature are things that I can whole-heartedly say that I LOVE. Appreciate the things that you have guys! because they could be gone tomorrow and you wont have even had the chance to say thank-you.
