Nature’s patterns offer hints to us as to how we might live our lives. In spring, we find an opportune time to be planting, seeding, and bringing forth new ideas; in summer, the conditions are ripe for working and playing; in fall, we can be harvesting and nesting; and in winter, we might just want to hunker down and hibernate.
With sunshine minimal, temperatures low, and perhaps a pot of stew slowly bubbling—a cold, winter day is a time not to focus on feeling blue or withdrawn but to take time to rest, practice introspection, learn, and contemplate.
