The Winter Solstice
Life does not move in a straight line, but unfolds in cycles. Pauses, setbacks, and returns are not failures; they are necessary phases of renewal. Day returns to night, growth returns to rest, activity settles back into stillness.
Returning is the motion of the Tao
Tao Te Ching, 40
Abundance is not something we acquire.
It is something we tune into
Wayne Dyer
Enjoy each season of your life. Patiently prepare the soil, sow the seeds, and do the work, and you’ll harvest the abundant fruits of your labors. Accept both good fortune and adversity as you accept the shifting seasons. Enjoy the glazed beauty of a winter’s day and the sultry days of summer, for soon enough, each season, each day, each moment, passes into history, and its exact likeness shall not be seen again. So rather than longing for summer in the midst of a winter’s chill, or wishing for cool winds in the dog days of summer, embrace each season for its own gifts. Align yourself with the cycles of time and transformation, riding change as ships ride the waves.
