Winter: the call of introspection

One of the many gifts of Maine is the season of winter - illustrated beautifully by the landscape and wildlife, there is a movement inward. Accompanied by the shorter days, extended darkness, and cold air of winter oftentimes is the anticipation of melancholic moods and the longing for brighter, warmer days. Instead of resisting that which is inevitable, we can take our cue from mother nature and mirror that which is being expressed naturally. Consider winter as an invitation to turn inward and engage in a practice of reflection and introspection.
