At Peace, Amongst Giants

            I spent an evening alone in the shadow of this beautiful giant.  My dad had passed away about 10 days earlier, and I was feeling vulnerably sad and alone.  At his funeral my brother played a Vince Gill song called "Go Rest High"~ I took that message to heart and found some peace in my smallness next to this mountain.
