Being frozen

Our weather here now is very cold. Below zero day after day. It gives the world a chance to clean itself up. My client plows his garden so the freezing goes deep into the soil and clears the old organisms that are there. He likes a fresh start in the spring. I thought about that for a moment. I know we could all use a fresh start once in awhile. Sometimes we get off  track and think we are stuck there. In truth a time out, a deep freeze, a holding pattern give that much needed moment to rethink our lives. Clearing the old junk from the trunk, cleaning up and out the left overs from other situations is a perfect way to use this gift. I went to Goodwill 3 times this cold snap, allowing myself the luxury of letting go. In the gift of the deep freeze, allow yourself that wonderful gift. Make some space in  your home, your body and your life here for new growth. A garden of delight awaits those who weed it out once in awhile. Thank you Earth Mother for a time out, it is a time well spent and we are grateful that sometimes you know better than we do.
