The Council of Bliss

You're snug and warm inside a remote cabin, nestled deep inside the arctic circle. The wind is howling fiercely outside, shaking the windows and rattling the door. You can hear the snow falling outside, beating against itself as the wind gusts and shifts.  It's a blizzard, battering the cabin with a ferocity that makes you grateful for the sturdy walls around you. The fire in the fireplace crackles and pops, providing a comforting background noise as you sit wrapped in a blanket. The storm rages on, and you can't help but feel a sense of awe at the raw power of nature.
