Life In The Winter : Nature

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

Winter is a time to share and appreciate simple things in our lives .

See the warmth of our breath in the crisp morning air .

 

 What an inner therapy comforts us to sip warm soup or sit before a fire and feel the love of those around us there . 

 

Smell the wood burning and see the frost and snow .

Hear the coughs and sneezes , feel the woollen blankets and touch a winters moment .

Find time to reflect on what has been in the past and discover peace to adjust to what is going on in the present .   

Life changes when winter comes and some of us feel the cold and suffer pain which can erase the value of this time and space .

 When winter comes we subconsciously can grow an extra skin to help us cope with the challenges that we might have to face .

Each challenge can bring us encouragement and hope . 

Mediate or medicate 

There is an end to the cold and lonely path  .

What joy it is to feel a warm hand and to go walking through an icy winters day with a friend who can make us laugh .

 

Winters chill reminds us of the need to stay warm in the dormant days when our thoughts are shrouded by the ghosts of seasons past .

 

There is an energy in winter that helps us overcome

the difficulties that life has presented ,

and long may it last .
