Season’s Change

I know now
why
I did not want
fall
to end.

With the season’s change
I close up,
go inside
and
hibernate.

Dreaming.
Collecting.
Waiting.
To see what is behind
the door
at the next
season’s change.

I don’t know about you, but winter is upon me. I have curled up on my comfy chair with my cat in my lap a lot this week, reading. I have not been very productive, but then I remembered the Spiral of Creativity. Maybe it’s time for me to hang out in the center of the spiral for a while. Go back to the beginning. Allow time for input, for gestation, for the creation of new ideas. Perhaps that’s what winter is all about. It’s time to hibernate. Dream. Rest. I wonder what new ideas will come of this time? I wrap up in my quilt, and wait to see.

Lisa Gordon of The Creative Exchange and I are teaming up this week to give away TWO spots in my January Find Your Eye: Starting the Journey course. Visit The Creative Exchange and leave a comment before Friday evening if you would like to enter to win one of these spaces!

  1. So true! As I sit at my computer looking out the window to my frosty yard, close gray sky, and wind tossed branches, I too wonder what’s next, what to try or expand upon. Thanks so much for sharing so many inspirational ideas – I’ve truly loved following you this year!

    • Thanks Terrie! It’s been great having you along. I love your description of what’s out your window, very poetic.

  3. I’m an odd ball I know, but I love winter. I bundle up and trek through the woods near our home every day!! My wish for Christmas is some warmer weatherproof boots that will keep my feet warm out there! I hibernate in the summer, not with the quilt of course,since I don’t like the heat and the high humidity !! I love your photo. You’re doors are always so inviting!!

  5. I just love the idea of hanging out in the spiral. I get so overwelmed at this time of the year with all the things to do. When did it stop being fun? V

  6. Such a beautiful handle on this door Kat, and I love the detail you have captured.

    Thank you so much for sharing today at The Creative Exchange.

    Have a wonderful evening.

    lisa.

  9. I love the idea of taking time for ideas to come. For me the cycle is opposite. I’m very busy in summer, so winter is a time to explore new things and create. Enjoy your sunshine and book!

  10. Open that door and go outside.
    I know it’s not always easy, but it changes my perception every time I do it.
    So tempting to stay indoors and think that I’m too tired, too cold.
    And every time I’m grateful that I have taken the [cold] plunge.
    It’s the getting into my outdoor clothes that is the hardest part:-)
    Actually I thought that it was mild where you live at present.

  11. Thank for for these thoughtful words. This is exactly how I have been feeling lately….it is reassuring to know that it’s simply the process of Nature unfolding….
