Winter arrives…inviting us to slow down….🩶
Winter: A Season of Rest and Restoration
By following the cues
that Nature generously provides,
we set the tone of our days
and discover,
in each unfolding season,
a gentler pace
and a softer rhythm in our lives.
Winter arrives,
whispering softly of the need for rest,
inviting us to slow down,
to breathe,
and to savor the solace
that drifts softly, like silent snowflakes across our hearts.
In this season of stillness,
we withdraw
from the hurried tempo of our days,
from the busyness that tugs
like constant and restless winds.
Here, in the quiet,
we find shelter,
a place to dream,
time to pause,
and space to imagine
all the plans and possibilities
preparing to bloom
in the next season of our lives.
And when the world stirs again,
we emerge
with renewed grace and resilience,
feeling rested and restored,
ready for whatever may lie ahead.
