December 12

Yesterday’s peaceful snow is a reminder of the calm and beauty that often accompanies winter here. It allows us to accept the transition more gracefully, to acknowledge that the work and leisure of our autumn pursuits have indeed come to an end, and yet to see that there is still a landscape of beauty just beyond the window.


We are near the start of the long rest now, where the days of readiness and growth, production and harvest are all only memories of accomplishments. The gentle snow of yesterday is a newly lain blanket upon this Paxton ground, coming like a welcome sigh to usher in this time before the cycle begins anew.
