WINTER!

Dear husband on top of the Sudety world!

WINTER!

On pause.        The garden waiting for action but is required to rest.
Repeat.            Every year the same.   Spring does return.  
Re-play.          Each day  is a bit longer than the day before, however slowly it takes, warmth                                          returns in time.
Volume.          Sometimes the snow blows harder.   It gets turned down eventually and the bird song                              returns.
Contrast.         Lovely green foliage on the now bare oak.  Beauty yes, but deadly, a parasitic vine.                                   The most enduring, noble of trees will be brought down in time by that grasping,                                   burrowing, hungry vine. 
Balance.          Mountain blankets of snow glistening in the sun.   So much more snow on the                                           southern slope.   Seems the northern winds have lost a point.   The southern                                            countries also lost, more  than one, more snow than the north, less prepared to deal                                 with it.                     Best viewed together….
Mute.              Silence.  Sun warmth.   High mountains' companion only the wind.


What learned #1          

  •  How faithful You.   The love which gives rest periodically also brings newness in time.

  •   The dangers of the  insignificant, left unchallenged, can slowly harm us, kill our souls in the   long run.

  •  Not all receive the same blessings, those same blessings can also harm if too abundant. 

  • Higher and closer to Your warmth brings quietness of soul and the spirit's voice becomes foremost
  • Our mechanical way of viewing is too fast and two dimensional.   There is depth to gain when really looking
