In the Still Darkness of Winter

In the still  darkness of Winter a murmur can be heard, the rumble and groans of a mother readying to birth her newborn into a world unknown. 

Winter is the time to call upon the Earth.

 To surrender into the nooks, the roots, the heaviness of the Earth. 

To sink deeply within yourself and to go into the embrace of the cyclical nature provided.

In the slowness of winter and hibernation you find space and time to tend to your deepest roots, to nourish them and trim them, clearing them of debris to help them to grow more deeply into the soil of the Earth. 

They continue absorbing all the Earth has to offer combining this with all that was received from the abundance of the sun and the waters that were soaked up and fed down to the roots through the spring and summers past.

The roots begin to alchemise all they have received in their past cycle, then take time to rest, allowing the alchemy to carry out its own fermentation process.

Eventually when the call of the sun returns once more your entire Being will begin its next growth cycle and the roots will stay planted firmly in the ground supporting from deep within the earth.

Tend to all you have, take care of your body, your feelings, your mind and your soul.

Rest and allow the alchemy of your evolution to fester and die whilst at the same time nourishing and re-birthing yourself.

When the light calls, you will be ready to step out anew into your next cycle of living, loving, growth and transformation.

With Love,
