Snow blankets the seemingly endless expanse of snow-covered terrain around the cabin, which was crafted from the towering trees in the midst of a silent forest. The silhouette of mountains in the distance reminds us how small we really are in this extensive world. The lake nearby is frozen by winter’s touch. The morning air is crisp and it prickles on your cheeks. The smell of pine and the remaining embers of the fire inside linger around. If you listen closely enough, the sound of snapping twigs and crunching snow reminds us we aren’t alone.
