The Council of Bliss

An ice storm in the deep woods of North Carolina creates a unique and eerie sound, as the small particles of ice and sleet fall through the tall pine trees and onto a bed of pine straw on the ground. The thick layer of ice coats the branches of the pine trees, creating a rustling sound that is both soothing and haunting. This episode captures the solitary sound of an ice storm, the cold and eerie ambiance, and the feeling of isolation that it brings. It serves as a reminder of the power of nature.
