Snowy Mountains

As I went on my walk this morning, I looked to the west and I could see the snow covered mountains. I am still in awe of the beauty that is before me.

The song that came to mind as I looked at the mountains was "Landside" by Fleetwood Mac.

"I took my love and I took it down.  I climbed a mountain and I turned around and I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills 'til the landslide brought me down.  Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?  Can the child within my heart rise above?  Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides?  Can I handle the seasons of my life?  Well, I've been afraid of changing, 'cause I've built my life around you.  But time makes you bolder.  Even children get older and I'm getting older too.."

Nature inspires so much in us.  The snow covered mountains inspired Stevie Nicks to write the song "Landside".  She was at the end of her rope with money, relationships, etc. and these words expressed how she felt.

When you are searching and needing an answer, take time to be in the outdoors and allow God to talk to you.  If you are still, you will hear Him as he whispers.
