Winter Reflections
Life is a dance between the Active and the Passive. When living
actively, we revolve around Doing, Achieving, Accomplishing, Improving.
We look at our To Do lists. We make things happen. We accomplish
tasks and take steps forward. We plan our schedules diligently. We
live with the mindset to not save things for tomorrow than can be
accomplished today. In our Active state of living, we are productive
and timely.
This must be balanced by the Passive, in which we Allow things to
happen around us and make time to Observe and Reflect. Allow our minds
to wander to new territories. Listen to our bodies and rest when we are
tired. Notice details in the world around us.
Most of the time the Holidays become all about the Active, about
Doing. We have things to bake, presents to wrap, parties to attend, To
Do lists to complete. But winter should be a time for the Passive, for
Allowing. Have meaningful conversations with each other. Take time to
read or knit or just watch the snow fall outside with a cup of coffee.
Make room for love.
