Hibernation....

Mid winter…..Matariki…the new year…yet still I feel withdrawn, snuggling down under the covers. reluctant to make my way in the world.

I think of the bulbs and seeds resting in the cold earth, waiting to feel the change in season. I am devoid of dreams. Yet frustrated with myself that I cannot plan ahead and imagine the Spring and the energy that comes with that renewal.

Perhaps it is Ok to stop, to pause, to let go of the effort and trust it will return, as life always does in the cycle if the year, so too in my own psyche. I will feel energised again.
