Friday night, February 20, a little before 9:00 pm.
A nice evening for the drive. Sliver of a moon, with a bright Venus low left and fainter but red Mars in between. As we climbed nine mile canyon road the moon set as we reached the top. The remainder of the 15 mile drive was quite dark as we watched the temperature fall and rise with each fall and rise of elevation.
After reaching the cabin, there was the usual scurry of activity.....Unpacking truck, climbing under cabin to turn water valves, light stove, turn on room heater, check all other systems, unpack cooler, make beds....whew...time to go to the deck and look at the stars and breath the cool 30 degree air.
How does one describe no air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, nor light pollution???
Not a sound, not even a mere breeze and no man made light anywhere.
This is total peacefulness.
But how does one describe total peacefulness.?!?!?
Tonight:
The sky is ablaze with deep blackness broken by a billion diamonds,
And the silence is deafening, broken by my breathing.
