Under the winter sun, beneath the cold, hardened ground, spring is already hard at work, getting ready, ready, ready to grow.
It is our responsibility to stay present to the lessons and possibilities of the current season while also preparing for the one that is to come.
“Winter” officially began just one week ago and reminds us to come back to ourselves, to conserve, to evaluate. It is an active rest, not a stagnant one.
The roots of the trees are busily storing water and nutrients for what’s to come. If not, there is no spring.
