- The winter is the time
- To rest and replenish
- My soul to prepare
- For the intensity of springtime.
- The winter is my time to be quiet
- And listen to my soul.
- To hear it’s quakening.
- To be mindful of its fears.
- To forgive foibles.
- To welcome its hopes with open joy.
- And listen to my soul.
- The winter is time to go outside
- And find that patch of undisturbed snow.
- Once finding it,
- Lie down facing the clouds.
- Spreading your arms
- Like the wings of an eagle
- Moving them back and forth.
- Then it is time to stand up
- And look down
- At my angel.
- Winter is the time
- To take time to take time
- To have a little fun
- And enjoy moments.

- A reflection on winter. Some get cabin fever. Some hate the cloudy days. Some hate the cold. I found it is all about enjoying the moments of your life. Winter for me is a time of slowing down, and replenishing energies.
Very thought provoking. I have a very anti-winter outlook and need to read this a few more times. Pearl
