“I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape – the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show.” ~ Andrew Wyeth

Thank you for this video, Kel. It calmed me down this morning, after an agitated night with a child who couldn’t sleep. I like the image of “landscape bone structure” in winter–so beautiful and accurate.
Still, being only human, we all long for the whole story, right? We are not content with just contemplating the mystery. Maybe we should.

I think that’s my problem most of the time. I’m trying, though.
Well done, Kel. I watched it last night and I liked it.
However, everytime it snows or gets cold enough that the water freezes…these few lines always come into my mind:
“If you can play on the fiddle
How’s about a British jig and reel?
Speaking King’s English in quotation
As railhead towns feel the steel mills rust
Water froze in the generation
Clear as winter ice
This is your paradise”
