A Moment For Reflection

"Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson



Nature has a way of knowing when it is time to rest and renew. 
Growth will come when the time is right.
When I think of winter it reminds me of a pause in life.
A time of rest and reflection.
A way of being that mankind just does not know how to do.

    I just love the sense in your words. We could all do with making time for rest and reflection.

    Best wishes Carrie,

  4. Carrie,
    Thank you so much for reading and for your comment.
    This is pretty awesome. Both photos and your words make a valid point. I mean, what part of snow covered streets says..."Drive on me!?"

  6. Nature has been hammering home a reminder for the last few winters. There may be an epiphany in our future.

  10. Winter makes me want to curl up under a blanket and sleep; I think I'll try to adopt your way of seeing this as a good thing. :)
