December often conjures up complaints about the cold, snow shoveling, and dangers of falling on ice, but just as often I am awestruck by winter’s beauty contrasted against a backdrop of barren starkness. And so is life. One is necessary for the other.
So, rather than more of the usual holiday hype for this month, I’m focusing instead on Mother Nature’s vivid gifts. What comes to your mind this season…?

Yes, I do think marketing and materialism has tainted the spirit of the season but glad to know you’ve made the choice for quiet time.

I’m looking forward to some cooler weather. I’m not looking forward to the commercialization of the season. Quiet time.

Warmth. I am drawning inward to find warmth. But not just in the comforting sense, but also in the transformative sense. Fire, warmth, illumination, tapas. Winter is a journey to the light, for me. Drawing inward so I can also expand outward. After the dark night, comes the bright morning.
