Seeds. Carry the blueprints for each living thing that will emerge from them. This is a time of gestation/germination.
Winter brings us into quiet anticipation of the next phase of our lives. We are invited to move through the gentle growth process. We bring with us everything that we have stored from the previous season. Something has begun that will usher us into the next level of fullness for our lives. New life unfolds.
"[Winter] is a time that opens perceptions of what must still come upon us in the growth process. It opens a vision of what we must still face within ourselves if we are to give birth to the higher. ...This is reflected most profoundly in Nature, for it is when seeds germinate."
--Ted Andrews
Greetings! So many things are stirring at this large time. New beginnings are encouraged out of humble settings. Promises are being fulfilled. Winter offers a natural time of gestation for these beginnings to be nurtured and to be developed gradually. It's a quiet, potent time. Potent as in having much potential. We are invited to wait, to watch, to participate in the beauty of new life unfolding. We seek a greater peace in the world.
"Let harmony of Spirit reign, and make all Earth a home
Where we can live, secure in peace, no matter where we roam."
