Our AirBnB hosts in Pemberton, British Columbia, had a little leather-bound guest book in their living room. On the last day, I wrote this little ode to their cozy, handmade cabin.
Frosted fields and farm fresh eggs,
Icy nights and fireside gazing,
A dichotomy —
Comfort in the wild.
We were loved,
By the varnished beams
Laid in place by sturdy arms
And a familiar stranger’s smile.
This is a safe retreat.
