I walked along the vacant, mountain road, through the snow embraced forest, inhaling deeply the cold, healing air. I let it fill my lungs, pushing out the dust, the dirt. I could almost feel it absorbing into my muscles and organs, setting right my systems and rhythms. I stretched out my legs a little further, and inhaled just a bit deeper.
And then I stopped, to hear it - Silence, the food of my spirit.
Even my thoughts are beckoned to pause, and wait, just wait. Who knows when a Voice may come, so just wait.
Embrace the snow, as it ushers in the difficult blessings. Accept the slowing down, because if you go too fast you may lose your footing. Welcome the coldness, for there are some diseases that are only frozen away. Make peace with the silence, the lonely healer, brutal and beautiful as it consumes.
