winter stillife

It is wintertime. You are deep in the forest. There are pine trees and other trees all around. Snow and pine cones are scattered on the ground. There is a strong scent of pine. It is refreshing. It is gently snowing. Large size flakes start falling. As they hit the ground they melt. As you stand in the forest -- there are no sounds except a few birds in the trees softly chirping. It is so quiet you can almost hear the snow fall. You feel your heartbeat. You close your eyes to listen to the quiet and feel the stillness of the moment. Snowflakes gently touch your face but you are not cold. There is total peace around you. Harmony with nature. When you open your eyes, you see a doe looking at you. It is sublime. Still, quiet and peaceful.
