Words from Pep A dusting of snow…

Words from Pep
A dusting of snow…

It is December in the north. A fresh elegant blanket of white sleep wraps the earth. Through woodland stillness the crack of frost can be heard as branches contract in the cold. Here and there rising upward from within the earth elfin like vapors of warm air ascend an invisible stairway to heaven. Out of the south come low angle streams of light throwing soft shadows over this world. Every cautious step I take, every movement bruises the blissful silence. . . . . . The quiet of this dreamland is subtly disturbed by an almost imperceptible frequency. I slowly turn my head downward to the left and see a congregation of Deer Mice giving heed to one charismatic colleague in a state of prophesy. Several members of the audience turn in my direction and an interspecies religious experience commences. Tiny black eyes stared into mine and they began speaking in tongues as if I were descending on a white horse accompanied by legions of angels, sword in hand. . . . . . Next came the explosion as their rapturous gaze gave way to what they perceived as reality. Several leaped into the air landing on the others. Which way to run, clearly the question at hand! Up and over a nearby stump, down behind a log, under a rock, off on a long distance race to home went the others! . . . . . I had meant them no harm. My only emotion was one of wonder and delight. I got down on my hands and knees in the dusting of snow to look over their tracks so fragile and delicate, so slight and tenuous, so filled with fear because of misunderstanding. . . . . . Into my spirit came the voice of Creator - “Are you not similar? Of mice and men there is little difference. You run and hide from that which you do not or cannot understand. You appropriate violence for self-protection when all the while there is nothing to fear.”. . . . . I rose up from the ground with a peace in my chest and a smile on my face. From nearby came a familiar frequency and I slowly continued my journey.
