Come and Go, Come Back Again

April: On NatureApril 23Today's reflection was inspired by a quote from Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder.The mysterious beauty of winter is undeniable, and so too is the fact that it has hardened humans, building resilience and forcing innovation out of necessity. The cyclical nature of the seasons offers a reminder that the difficult and sparse times will end, but also that they will return—and in those times, you can still find beauty and peace . . . but don’t get complacent. You can do with that what you will—ignore it and bask in the warmth and abundance of summer, or build up your stores, strengthen your shelters and prepare. The choice is yours. Reflection title: Come and Go, Come Back AgainCreative inspiration: Laura Ingalls Wilder, Little House in the Big WoodsReflection Question: Difficult times, like winter, will always end, but they will always return.
