Cool Winter Mornings

(C) August 2006, Ramy Bakke

There are days when I want to go to this place... it is the dream land! The land that you wake up to in the early morning hours with a cup of coffee in your hands and a warm fire in the hearth and your children snuggled up in the blankets near your feet while you look out the window behind your couch. You are warm. You know that outside there is bitter cold, yet inside you are warm. You are cherished, safe, treasured... nestled in the arms of a mighty structure of snow, rock, trees and amazing grace.

Nothing can touch that feeling of grace... you know that without it you could not have made it through yesterday. You are breathing and alive and full of tranquility. This is your safe place. This is home.
