Walking in the Winter

Brisk air, brushing my face
Smell of wood burning, fireplace
Fresh, enlivening, wintery evening
I walk, I smile, I breathe, I sing

Crystalline lace of ice and snow
Through dark gray clouds, moon glow
Deer so graceful, running, leaping
Winter is a time for resting, sleeping

While it's here, appreciating
The silence, stillness, patient waiting
Taking time to go deep within
Because soon it will be Spring again

Listen!

What is that I really need? There's a part of me that knows the answer. This voice is the one that I do not always listen to, although I really need to hear what it has to say. I need to listen to it so that the voice can gain confidence and speak more loudly, clearly, and often.

It wants to speak to me in many ways - words, feelings, messages from my surroundings, music, energies, etc. It wants to guide me, counsel me, help me.

And I need to listen to it! Close my eyes and drop into myself, to that beautiful empty silent space within that I love so much.
