The power of winter is the power of emphasis: it emphasizes the essence of life. Without the external ornamentation of leaves, flowers, and fruits of the growing season, the plant is just bare essence: a seed, with its potential deep inside. For us, winter is a time of self-recollection, when we can go inside to that place where we are unadorned essence. We can use the energy of this season to more deeply discover the essence of our self.
