have you ever been to the top of a snow covered mountain? my favorite place to go is on a sow covered mountain in Colorado, with its beautiful views and brisk fresh air. It feels like your on top of the world. It's so peaceful and it's a great place if you need somewhere to go and think. I lived there for a few years whin i was young and it was gorgeous.
the snow covered mountains glisten from the sun light. Looking like diamonds on a piece of green felt. Ther air is so thin, fresh and cool, it almost hurts your lungs when you take a deep breath. From atop the mountains, you feel as if you can see forever. From where you are, you can see valleys with their lush green pastures, deep blue lakes, transforming to lush green forests filled with aromatic pine and cypress trees, wafting the smells into the air, fading to white as you scan all the way to the top of the next mountain range.
Sitting on top of the mountain you can clear your mind of all the hustle and bustle of the city. All your troubles seem to melt away like the snow melts from the rays of sun on a warm spring morning. Your mind can be free to explore your surroundings. You develop an inner peace and tranquility. You become one with nature.
The sounds from the mountain can be deafening. If you close your eyes, you can hear the wind softly blowing through the pine needles and cypress leaves. You can hear animals walking on the crunchy snow crystals. You can hear woodpeckers tapping on tree trunks, water flowing downhill that tastes soft, sweet, and crisp, as it passes over your dry parched lips, to become rushing rivers below. If you listen hard enough you can hear the far off sound of the city. You can almost hear the sound of the clouds moving through the sky.
If you feel likfe is getting you down and you need to find serenity in this crazy world, go to the mountains and hike to the top of the tallest snowyest one you spotted first. Sit with your eyes closed for a few minutes, listening to the sounds and take in the smells. Exhale, let your tension go with your exhaled breath. Open your eyes and take in the sights around you. Let your mind go free as you sit quietly among the snow covered trees and feel rejuvenated!
