Snow Bound
The Wind sounded like screaming, like someone beating at the door to be let into my sanctuary. Outside only the white snow that covered everything. My cabin, a miracle. A fire, a blessing from God. The storm, a Demon’s curse. White freezing death howled outside. The thick logs of the cabin were still to thin. The cold grabed at your soul, and you shivered. A memory imprinted in me for the rest of my life.

The Call of the Desert
In the bright heat of afternoon I watch the monsoon build in the vast sky. Great fluffy columns of steam rising on hot ascending air. As the water rushes up, the rubbing friction gathers up huge gangs of electrons. When their captives cannot be suppressed any longer, they escape the clouds moist bonds. In the distance a bright flash, then in a few beats of my heart, the low rumble of far away thunder. It is a warning of the coming storm.
