Tending soul in a wintry season is organic to life and growth.
Seed awakens, in the underground soil, to the prompting of sunlight and the promise of a New Harvest to come.
Nature invites us into its flow by patiently trusting its rhythms and waiting for signs of its harvest.

Advent, a Festival of Winter, can illumine how to be in a dark time and, indeed, offer insight into how to hasten a new dawn, personally and collectively.
