Winter at Camp

Winter is a time that seems to slow things down. Visitors at camp are out and about but looking to stay warm, squirrels in their nests, birds pass by, and campers invade the many buildings.  Activity gives way to dormancy. Life is still, indwelling and silent. This is a time of introversion, contemplation and going within. Symbolic winter invites us to quiet the mind, still the soul, and crystallize our inner workings.  Take time to embrace the benefits of winter.  Winter is a challenging season for many. Societal demands and winter are like oil and water. Nature pulls in, slows down to rejuvenate, restore and rebuild her life force for the next cycle. Her energy goes into the depths where it is still. She reduces the outward demands to take time for restoration and to gather energy for herself. Take this time to rest and rejuvenate. Visit camp and enjoy the beauty of a new snow white blank canvas being prepared for all of the spring color.
