Winter w/ Andy

winter. hibernating. we are given darkness, cold, quiet resistance. howling winds. teasing rain, an outside step feels like a battle. the world is wrapped in deep gray and event the simplest - leaving our bed in the morning - feel heavier. obligations calling, bodies hesitating. illness lingering, frustrations building, all things move, just a little slower. the longing for spring and summer growing stronger. yet even in this stillness, don’t you see comfort? every sun ray a special gift. there’s warmth in soft blankets, in deep rest, in embraces of loved ones. a bit of quiet. a lot of nurturing. the gifts of slowing down, those we all need. listening to what your body needs, isn’t that the greatest gift of all? maybe this darkness. maybe this pause. is beautiful too.
