Winter is the Time

• 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.
• 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.
