Dear God,

The seasons of nature are symbols for the seasons of human life. If we attend to what nature is doing, we can find clues to our own seasons of life.  

I love winter the most!  I love cold weather, snow, white landscapes, quiet and gray skies.  I love it because I am challenged to look beyond the beautiful color of summer to see life on a deeper level.  It hearkens me to see what is invisible to the naked eye, to listen to what nature wants to say and to be attentive to winter's movement.  Only if I am truly quiet can I hear the wondrous word waiting to be spoken.  Winter opens wide my heart, mind and soul.  It is not just a beautiful season, it is a deeply spiritual season for me thus challenging me to listen to my own soul speaking, to hear my own needs and to discover the wondrous voice of eternity.

Thank you

for this

blessed season,

O God.

I am

so much

at one

with winter

and with you.

I breathe joy

every day.

I want 

to dance

and sing

and celebrate you.

Love, Andrea
