Winter Rest

Rest is built into our DNA and into the DNA of the planet, maybe not literally, but at least figuratively. Winter brings a time of rest, but during those months when it seems as if everything is dead, there is still life. We use those times to center ourselves, make plans for the months ahead, and to reconnect with the earth. As we embrace the winter of our lives, we can cherish the years we have been given and recognize that life is made of energy, and energy never dies, it just changes its appearance.
