Mountain Time, nine days 'til Christmas

"Mountain Time," 5 x 7 acrylic Christmas card

 
"Go tell it on the mountain," one of my favorite songs because of its  energy, joy and my memories, resounds with me during the Christmas season.

As an adult, Jesus went to the mountains, for solitude, prayer, and spiritual strength.  I identify, again especially in this season, where "Mountain Time" is not an earthly time zone, but deeply personal.

Add a cabin for solitude in the presence of the mountains,  you literally feel closer to God, creation and eternity, in so many ways.
