Winter is a time for turning inwards.  Pulling all of our resources inside ourselves. Devoting ourselves to ourselves.

Covering up and snuggling together against the harsh cold outside.

We collect the richness we need, hoarding what is necessary…

…but all the while trimming the excess out of our lives to make room for the new.

Let us celebrate the season by turning our gaze within…

…but never losing track of the beauty that surrounds us.

Let us live winter like the grapevine.
