| Winter Wonderings… As we move into December, the world around us slows down. The land is cold and quiet. Evergreens glow with inner light against the start backdrop of bare trees. The air feels still, and the earth herself seems to pause – resting beneath her winter blanket. This is nature’s invitation for us to do the same: to soften, to retreat inward, and to honour the sacred art of rest. Beneath our layers and behind glowing windows we gather to celebrate warmth, family, community and what we are grateful for. The Winter Solstice marks the darkest moment of the year… the shortest day and the longest night. After this day our Sun is reborn and the days will once again lengthen.Winter is not a time of doing, but of being. Like seeds lying quietly beneath the soil, we too are gathering strength for what’s next. Allow yourself to step back, breathe deeply, and listen to your inner rhythm.Take time to light candles, move slowly, and embrace the quiet. Trust that in stillness, everything is quietly becoming. December Affirmation: I am held in darkness. I am safe to rest and restore. I trust the quiet magic of winter. |
