I absolutely love the winter! I love it because everything slows down. Both my body and mind relish this period of stillness and quiet. Winter feeds my soul. As I age I truly understand how much I need the tranquility this season brings. Just like the plants are drawing in deeply to the depths of their roots I too journey into my depths.
Winter is about the internal journey of reflection during this period of hibernation. I like to consider the year which is concluding and consider all it has brought and all I have learned. During the winter months I feel like a maturation occurs both synthesizing the events of the past year and strengthening my roots for what is to come.
There is nothing I want to do more than cozy up with a blanket, a cup of tea and a book, but it never feels like there is time for this during other periods of the year. During the dark days of winter this feels so right. When I am out the cold air awakens my senses and helps me to tap into truly observing the quiet wonder around me. My hands stay busy crafting with more time at home than during the other seasons meanwhile my heart and soul are incubating that which will be created in the Spring.
