New Life

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."
