Time to reflect...

There's something special about the way the snow dampens all sounds around you and simplifies the shapes and colors of a landscape. It has a dampening effect on your activities and paste in life as well. Everything seems to move a bit slower, and appear a bit more calm and thought through. For me the winter is a time of self reflection, a time to go over who you are and who you want to be. We step into our metal caves, meditating over the life that will flourish when the sun decides to come out and grant us some warmth and again fill us with energy. It's the time for our inner activity to be on top and as spring comes closer and slowly wakes us up and moves us around, it awakens our outer self. The part of us that acts upon the thoughts we pondered in our caves on winter hibernation.
