Walking back to my cabin after supper along the path, over the stream, I stopped. It was dark but the filtered moonlight through the wispy clouds gave just enough illumination.
Listening. I heard nothing. It is windless night, cold, ground blanketed with fresh powder.

For a brief moment not a car moving, not a plane overhead, not an animal moving. I was alone in the silence.
Those moments are rare.
