Ahhh Your first paragraph really took me on a journey with the visuals. I miss Canadian winters <3 I absolutely love how our inner world is reflected by the outer world. Living cyclically has been such a game changer in my life, and even so the reflection is always slow down more, and some more and some more. I used to make it a problem that I wasn't always feeling so outward and outgoing and productive and now I really let myself sink into winter days. Reminds me of pregnancy which felt like a personal "winter" in that I wanted to be internal, alone huddled in a cabin in the woods by the sea. happy winter months :)

Happy that you received a sweet taste of home. The land misses you <3 For sure, I feel as though there is big medicine of slowing down coming in for those who lived so many years caught up in the mouse wheel. Always chasing chasing chasing....and now.....just....being. Cyclical living is healing the world <3 Simply because it is our blueprint, our guide. The ways we are meant to be in harmonious resonance. mmm yes, I love this reflection about pregnancy being an initiation that brings you into an inner winter. That is an important reminder of all the micro cycles that we move through internally that influence us as well. Within our womb cycles too we experience an inner winter every month as women. Another layer of cyclical living being living in harmony with our INNER cycles and phases. Love you sister.

Listening to the land....Even writing those words brings me home. So much grace, wildness and wisdom in the soils of this planet and our bodies. Yes humans are just strange.
