This is our world.
It is cold, unforgiving, driving snow like sand into your eyes.
It is howling, battering, ripping at your clothes.
It is shrieking and cracking and moaning and whispering and silent.  It is otherworldly.
Our world!
It is golden, sparkling, leaving you breathless.
Carrying your laughter, prayers, shouts and songs away in a reckless wind.
It is stars frozen in water, it is sunlight blown off mountains.
This is our world!
Terrible and wonderful and magical all at once.
Don't hide, don't look away.
Don't leave here without at least once, feeling your insignificance,
as you walk straight into it's beating heart.

I knew the ice was too thick to break, but I admit, I was still nervous.

5 years ago I drove from one part of Costa Rica to another and my whole life changed because of it.  Now I'm back in Colorado with my brother, my dog, my fiance.  I always like looking back and reminding myself that I could never have imagined this moment, then.
