Hello
Welcome to Saturday Seeds and Spores
This one is loosely based around the coming winter and its beauty upon the land.
Winter for me, is a wonderful time to look at the stories we hold and rewild them, creating within us stories more beautiful supportive than the ones we may carry.
Learning a different way of knowing winter changed a lot for me an my own journey of being human.
As I’ve said here before, we live in a culture that greatly values the spring energy; outwards, productive, young and easy. And we can gain external validation for being this way, gaining approval, love and respect for this way of being.
Yet we only have to look outward, and inward, and know that this way of being, day in and day out, is exhausting, unrealistic and not to honest with our inner needs.
Nature shows us, that to grow well we must have periods of inward learning, quieter times. We need to decay die, rest, dream and plan. We need to listen so we can remember who we are and where we are going.
