Snow blankets the hills and contrasts with the pond. Birds sing in ancient Avian and wave in flight. The fish bump their heads against frozen waters, mouth-agape. I hum hymns. Snow crunches under hoof. Trees stand tall, though ****. I whistle. But all of the melodies have been taken. I try to offer up some original melody for my God-king. All falls shorts. Surely He smiles upon my efforts. I press on. I follow the river as it bends this way and that. The deer sees me and pays no mind. I am walking in the path of eternal light. And darkness eeks out it's existence in the shadow of rocks. I find comfort in the frozen sands of December. A Wesleyan whisper from ages ago crosses my ear. It speaks of Heaven. Rushing waters pay no mind to change or tradition.
