it's not that winter wasn't beautiful...i was just to busy too post. but there was plenty of beauty to be found...everywhere! the smell and cuddley-ness of a new puppy, joy of christmas with the whole family together, an AMAZING red full lunar eclipse on the winter solstice as the clouds parted and the wind swept through town, full moon over a snow-covered landscape on a cross-country ski, sparkly trees and snow peaked mountains during a late night ski into a cozy cabin, the beauty paints piled on canvas invoking peace and anger and raw emotions at the MOMA, a cozy italian dinner of gnocchi pillows and candlelight with longtime friends in brooklyn, two friends' glowing faces as they wed under stained glass panels, music that makes the feet and heart dance, smiles of strangers that feel like old-kindred-souls, snowflakes falling under street lights like goose feathers, whipping over vast expanses of sandstone with the sun dazzling on a winter afternoon, snowboarding with a wave of powder breaking over my knees, a golden eagle swooping down out of the fog within 5 feet of myself, tea with friends, a shared meal of fresh kitchari and homemade chai and a date and pecans, watching the joy of baby brother turning thirteen and winning a science fair and becoming a wonderful person, wind whipping hair on a sunset hike, sharing apres ski at the ritz in giant armchairs near a huge fireplace with a dear friend, delicate lines of snow outlining the book cliffs as storm clouds lifted, bids singing in the early morning, and waking up each morning for an entire week feeling nothing but joy. it's been beautiful. it IS beautiful! and i am so lucky to be living here now!
