Winter is a time of renewal.
It is the preparation
For a new beginning.
It marks the final moments
Of an old year
And the excitement
Of a fresh start.
Winter is a period of revival.
It is recovery
And slowing down.
It is healing
And transforming
Through reflection.

Time to rest and recover from the year just finishing helps us be more ready to meet the year ahead.
