To Mother Winter Sun

The colors and shapes of the clouds this winter seem to be bringing a fullness of expression during this transitional time. The changing from full life force to that of a more withdrawn quiet biological way of living. We see it all around us during the colder months of winter. My question is do we recognize that same biological need within ourselves that is being witnessed in nature? The call to slow down, move inward for reflection and consciously resource ourselves. Quietly building energy for the longer days to come? Do you have a practice that serves your winter season? 
Today is my mother's birthday.  She would have been 98. I think of all the times during the last years of her life she would sit reading a book with her gaze moving out the window into nature toward our pond. When I would ask what she was looking at she would say, "nothing" I would finish the thought with  "anything that comes in front of your eyes?" She would shake her head,  sometimes stop reading and engage in conversation and other times not. It was the "not" times I could sense were the moments she was drawing nature in, reflecting it back and thus nourishing her resiliency. She lived a very long life. 97  and a half years!
