Its cold here in Virginia; like I unlocked my car, but still couldn’t get it open because it was frozen shut, cold. I lived in California for 10 years so its this time of year that I deeply question my decision. HA!
But winter is such a beautiful season, one that I desperately missed actually while living in 70 degree year round weather. I missed the pause that nature so brilliantly allowed for, for 3 months of the year. I missed cold and sunny days, with my scarf and cups of tea. I missed fire places and the coziness that ensues when the weather is to terrible to even go out. But what I missed most was the quiet. It gets quiet in the winter, we tend to go inward whether we are conscious of it or not. People aren’t as social. There is a deep reflection that takes place during this time, and also a re-appearance of creative genius that reveals its self. A lot of us choose to ignore this and we become “depressed” during these quieter months, mainly because we aren’t honoring our genius and letting it out to play, like it so desperately wants. Mother Nature has slowed down so why cant we. Mother nature is busy underground creating what is to become the spring, so why cant we be doing the same.
Winter in VA, while it can feel lonely at times has been a great teacher for me and has been the perfect Segway into re-discovering my genius (Guinevere). The quiet has allowed me to play with my innate creativity. I have been more creative in the last month than I have in a very long time. So while I miss Sunny and 70, I am reveling in what the winter has blessed me with.
Thank You winter! Thank You Virginia! Thank You Universe.
Love and Light!
