winter seeds, all is not dormant Soft season of quiet anticipation, blankets with mist and snow Preparing for the dormant time Sweet solitude balms the weary, all is in calm repose Patient and silent in winter’s rest Come gentle season of peace and stillness, envelope in candlelight and flickering fire Welcome Counselor, welcome Advent Solus Christus Sunday was the beginning of Advent, a time marked with anticipation of something, someone to come. It’s a time of expectant waiting; things coming into being. I am quiet. I am anticipating. I am waiting for things to come into being.
