Winter is a time of rest and hibernation, of waiting for the light to return.

Just like seeds that wait silently in the ground, full of potential, we can just ‘be’.

During the dark months, plants submerge their energy into their roots.

We can learn much from the seed and the natural environment.

We too are a natural part of the earth and are affected by the seasons. We would do well to go with the flow of these natural cycles.

It is not a time for doing too much. We need to slow down and pace ourselves, to preserve our energy – our energy levels are not as dynamic as during warmer months.

I have never stopped hoping for too long….

inquiry for today~ where will you pause and rest now?

the deep hibernation…..

Those who seek for pearls must be willing to dive to the depths time and time again. Once in the depths things appear differently, and each descent requires an inner adjustment in order to see what is otherwise hidden from view. People expect beautiful things to come in an attractive wrapper, but the soul has it another way. The hidden beauty works its way from inside out and must be sensed within before it can be displayed for all to see.
