loud wind. cold. full earth covering of fresh snow. I live on a lake. the lake is frozen and I can watch the lake's changes from season to season. sunrise to night sky. each moments flux of weather from a window, inside, warm. or going out onto the lake's shore's and in this winter solstice time of year, walking right out, on it's hard surface. a desert expanse of ice, wind, snow. in black night now, surprise crossings of a bright spot or two, drawing lines of distant electric light from speeding snow mobiles. then return to stillness, black, silence, but for wind song.
other dominant sounds, t.v., talking, recorded music, traffic, etc, not here. just the wind through tall pines. the wind blowing across the open space of the frozen lake. Now I will paint a small work and appreciate working to the sounds of that loud wind. grateful to be working inside a warm, quiet shelter. My temporary new home on this lake.
