Winter...

In the stillness of the leafless trees, meditating in the depth of winter, we come upon spring. In the emptiness between the stars, we become part of all things. This is the place of beginnings where we can speak our word and emerge into new realities for our lives. It is the place to which we need to retreat when conditions shatter our consciousness. Here, in the holy temple within, we find peace, stillness and assurance~ our true being.

When we immerse ourselves in the silence, we wash away the struggle and turmoil of our lives. Then, unadorned, we can dwell in timelessness. When we surface from this sacred space, we find our lives have taken on a divine direction and we are renewed.
