“The Rockies”

Excerpt from “Osi and Isi: A Tale of Twin Flames”: “When she got to Frisco, Colorado, Isi saw snow completely covering the higher elevations of the mountains. It had partially melted on the face of a big, breast-shaped hill, leaving what appeared to be a white, dancing stick figure. One peak glowed like polished ivory, its rounded snow cap shining in the sunshine. A sharp peak in the middle of her field of vision was striped black and white like a zebra, and showed a mirror-smooth glacier at its feet. The evergreen trees comforted the girl. They reminded her of the jolly Christmas trees seen on antique holiday cards. And what gorgeous colors in the sky! Glaucous and rabbit’s egg, cyan, azure, aquamarine, and light electric blue streamed in stripes across the open sky. The colors reminded Isi of the sea by her favorite beach back home, and her heart melted. The snow covering the mountainside looked to her like white sand that had been voluminously poured down from some huge firmamental pot. The contrast between the dark green of the fir trees and the light blues of the sky established the perfect counterpoise between the earthly and the heavenly. She had never been in mountain country before and the scenery opened up to her an entirely new world. The small ant cars winding their way along the thin strip of asphalt appeared so utterly inconsequential compared to the magnificence of the surrounding nature. She and the other drivers were sneaking into the sacred world of the high mountains, and she felt it to be an honor and privilege.”
