🐾💛 Warmth Doesn’t Come from Weather - On cold days, we discover what truly keeps us warm—not comfort or shelter, but compassion and connection.

Peace isn’t found in perfect conditions. Peace is found in how we care for one another, in the bonds we share, in the kindness we extend to all beings.

Even in winter, loving-kindness keeps us warm.

Thank you for walking with us. May you and all beings be at peace. 🙏

Winter is a time of withdrawing from the world, maximising scant resources, carrying out acts of brutal efficiency and vanishing from sight; but that’s where the transformation occurs.
Winter is not the death of the life cycle, but its crucible. Once we stop wishing it were summer, winter can be a glorious season in which the world takes on a sparse beauty and even the pavements sparkle.
It’s a time for reflection and recuperation, for slow replenishment, for putting your house in order.
