It's a feeling....
That first deep breath laced with the winter chill.....
Filling your lung's...
Reaching through to every inch of your body....
The peace of the twilight settling around you....
The serenity of the frozen land...
The stillness of the wood's...
The majesty of the ice covered river...
Silently flowing deep below...
The laughter of friendship....
The words shared...
That deep bond that comes from suffering... living... breathing....
It's the knowledge that each muscle will bite and complain tomorrow...
That each step will remind you that you were unkind....
The feeling of weakness leaving...
Strength building...
Strength of body...
Strength of mind....
And with every ache...
Every silent protest from each muscle....
It's the reminder of that beautiful moment...
Blessed by the stillness of the winters night...
And the companionship of a good friend....
Knowing that in that moment...
You were the best you that you could be....
You pushed your limit...
And you were alive....
