The Nature Way

By:  Alex Purbrick

Winter is a time when nature reminds us to rest, be still and gather our energies inwards as the darkness dominates the days.

We must not fear or run away from Winter's darkness as it rests our unconscious just as sleep rests our mind.

All of nature returns to the earth to sleep and visit the cosmic dreamtime where new life is dreamt into being.

When the sun's light is reborn during the Winter Solstice, the seeds of nature begin to grow.

We also are reborn, shedding our old thoughts and habits and allowing new ideas and new ways of being to be planted in our lives.

When we deny or resist nature's cycles of light and darkness, chaos and despair rule our lives.
But if we surrender to the wisdom of nature's dark times, balance and harmony return to our world and we celebrate life as well as death.
