Winter


Today is the winter solstice.  The shortest day of the year.  Today the darkness creeps in early and sends us inside to cozy fireplaces and the warmth of family. 


Winter feels right to me this year.  Winter is a season for rest and quiet.  A season to reflect on what has been and what will be.  The season to hope for the newness of spring, the sunshine of summer, and the abundance of fall.  My soul needs winter.  To let the ground rest and to prepare for new things to come in Spring.  Beautiful things.  

In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer. 
-Albert Camus
