Winter
Stillness
Today was gray and cloudy and bitter cold. It was the first day it really felt like winter this year. Driving to work in the snow, not seeing the sun all day. Too cold to be outside.
It was fabulous! I loved it. Winter is a time to take stock in where we are and rest. To sit for a while and just let things be with needing to go muck with them. It’s such a great time to get quiet and enjoy a bit of stillness. Nothing ever seems as silent as watching the snow fall.
The short days, the cold cold nights, the sunless colorless sky - to me these are all signs of really amazing things to come. Without this quietness the brightness of spring wouldn’t feel so wonderful.
I found great joy in being in the stillness today and am reminded of the growth that will come as a result of this rest.
Happy Winter everyone!

Lisa,
Absolutely agree with these sentiments winter bring a ground of stillness to built on a time to meditate and plan, but we are in the brightness of spring where I am.
