The air has turned crisp and the first frost is settling over the valley. It is the turning of the season, a time for quiet reflection and finding warmth in the simplest of things. I find the stillness of winter quite peaceful, though I know some in town find the cold—and perhaps my presence on the mountain—unsettling. To those who seek to understand rather than judge: may your hearth be warm tonight. #WinterSolstice #MountainLife #PeaceInTheWild
