Tale of Winter Sky

Twilight at The Trace, Photo: Leisa A. Hammett. Text & photos, copyrighted.

When the passion of summer's warm months have escaped with the leaf stripping breeze of colorful fall,  the horizon pales and chills. No less beautiful, yet, than the deep sunsets of her opposite months.

Winter reminds--how connected we humans are with Mother Earth. How cyclical, too, our lives.

Vibrant Spring is for Birth and Renewal.

Toasty Summer is for play. 

Colorful Fall is for shedding and saying goodbye.

Barren Winter reminds us to go within. Be quiet. Still. Nurture.

Until Spring announces:

Time for Rebirth.

If we allow...

Winter is our Soul's chance for germination.

Wow, so beautiful... the photos and your exquisite words brought me right into the present moment. Thank you. It actually reminded me of my Yoga practice this morning, and it centered me all over again today. Wow, now that is cool.

Thank you, Yvonne! I love your response bc it shows me that you get what I'm trying to say here!

Beautiful words and photos. And, you reminded me that I don't have to hate cold weather. It's just part of the Mother's cycle of life.

Jana, I really enjoyed meeting you at Blissdom, too. I told my fiance about you.

I think you've got some great ideas photo-wise. This is my year I've decided to really try to hone my artistry. The techno still stinks, but I will get there when I'm ready.
