We rinse and repeat the days of life, grateful for all that we have— resources, access, transportation, health, peace, comfort, love, and abundance.
We’re in this in-between time— not quite Spring, yet Winter’s shadow behind.
A similar feeling within myself— a fine balance of both, Peace & Uncertainty.
Not quite ready for the next, yet open to receiving all that’s to come.
Joan D. Chittister explains it best,
“Darkness becomes the incubator of light. Darkness is the winter of the soul, the time when it seems that nothing is growing. But winter, we know, is the fallow time of year. Winter is the time when the earth renews itself. And so it is with struggle. Unbeknownst to us, struggle is the call and the signal that we are about to renew ourselves. Whether we want to or not.
Winter is a lesson about the fine art of loss and growth. Its lesson is clear: There is only one way out of struggle and that is by going into the darkness waiting for the light and being open to new growth.”
