For the Love of Winter:
Why wintry weather centers my soul
Quiet, cold mornings. Snow falls as it dampens the sounds of the usual life brought in with the rising sun. It's a peace that seems to only fall in this season after autumn. In the life cycle of on year, I need this time to reset my mind and wrap myself in blankets and my thoughts.
Sure, as the air pushes in from the arctic, we face a time where things die and recede for self-preservation. Why should the emotion-fueled human do any different? Let our instincts for solitude and emotional contemplation ride out these few cold months. Love yourself and shower yourself in warmth from inside your own soul.
I love winter. It includes family-centric holidays, extended periods of time off work, cold air that sends us to the blankets and the hoodies, a re-evaluation of your life and how the past and future will impact you, and so on and so forth.
Winter is for lovers and dreamers. Winter calls for long slumbers and short dreams, hot fires and cold toes, evenings of cuddling and days of frolicking. There are many things we can do in winter, in those things we need to understand that those activities and those feelings are indeed fleeting and last only during that brief period of time, only to give its final bow for the return of warmth and rejuvenation of life.
