Living With The Energy of The Season

While we have reached the solstice once again, there lies in front of us a week or two of downtime for holidays and New Year, and continued short days and cold and/or wet weather (to live in Miami, *sigh*).

My thought for today is that resting, retreating, cocooning - these are natural things to do at this time of year - and quite often provide the inspiration, replenishment and perspective needed to manifest amazing things over the next year.

I have a nice garden here in Seattle, and the fields (like the real farmers) are fallow right now. The asparagus and grapes have stopped growing above the ground. They are recharging their roots, for fuller growth next year. In fact, I will go out in January and cut them, cull them if you will.

Perhaps this is a good time to reflect on what you want to grow next year? For that, I will return in the next couple of days with a post on intentions for the New Year.

Until then, I wish you the best. Sincerely, Your Grateful Guy
