moments in time

Stunning is the only way I can describe all that I saw today. From the far off view of city sights and white capped mountains, to the close up inspection of snow and ice drenched trees struggling to stand up under the weight of their burden, it was all magnificent! The crisp wind seemed to make way for a striking clarity of colour as the dark grey clouds and the pure whiteness of the snow covered mountain trapped the clear blue sky between them. The sky gradually cleared to reveal far beneath us the expanse of one of the most beautiful cities I know... it reminded me of why I love where I live. (Where else can you snowboard all morning and drive home with your sunroof open on the way back?) That's not all I was fascinated by, my love for my home continued to grow as I viewed the city lights below, sparkling on the water, protected by the white slopes behind them and covered by the sparkling star covered sky above. It's as if the tired grey days of the weeks past were forgotten in the midst of the bursting forth of light, and I was somehow lucky enough to be surrounded by this incredible beauty.

missing words...

It's been so long since I have written and there is so much in my head, but I am unable to sort it out, and find those words that have gone missing. I would love to write with eloquence and use words to create a literary outlet, but it seems that January lacks the clarity November had. I assume I will get it back... and when it comes, I look forward to finally filling in those blanks.
