White


I just got back from the Sundance Film Festival where I had the opportunity to go skiing at the Deer Valley ski resort. I'm not sure what it is about pure white snow and high altitude, but to me, it just makes everything look so peaceful.



Maybe it's the quiet, the solitude. when you stand on top of the mountain and there is only the slight sound of the wind.
Maybe it's the pristine look and untouched feeling of pure white color. Maybe it's the coolness of the snow. Maybe it's the absence of any distractions at the apex of the mountains, or the amazing vistas.

Regardless of why, it puts things in perspective and calms you down. It helps to prioritize.
Despite the physical exertion of skiing, you feel reborn afterwards.
Don't worry, I'm not going to get religious on you, that's not my thing, but there is something spiritual about untouched nature, and it's nice to get back to it on a regular basis to remind us of what's important.
