After raving about the heat just a few days ago, I now find
myself hibernating indoors under three blankets after a massive cold front with
a candy cane. In Texas.
But it's ok.
Things to love about winter:
Soft foods that heat you from the inside, ethereal silver skies
blending with the hazy blue and white; longer nights, darkness, fire and
moonlight; the scents of snow, sage, cinnamon and pine; sparkles, twinkles,
frost, wood burning, the solstice, and slower feel of time; candles flickering
and dancing across walls and floors, hallways and doors; gathering, baking,
making, reflecting, contemplating, stillness, and the quiet uninterrupted
beauty of silent frozen landscapes, stretched far and wide.
We're watching the earth go inward once again, resting and
gathering strength while planning what's to come. Welcoming the inevitable
arrival of it.
"I could see for miles and miles and miles."
So lovely. Thank you <3
