Certain Moments

Certain moments in life present different opportunities and challenges.  Sometimes those are clear, other times not.  For me, moments in these days after the loss of my parents and our move here (all in the last 4 1/2 years) present the need for a deep and nurturing rest.  I suppose that is Winter's plan in the normal cycle of things.  I feel richly blessed that I live in a space where I might revel in such doin's.  Like the ground hog, I may come up and check for my shadow in early February.  But the big plan for me (and to some degree my family too) is a tender rest over the coming Winter months.  I will likely write some but not as much.
