A New Year Begins in January

A new year brings fresh promise of things to come.

Though I am looking forward to being a close part of this earth and the warm air again this coming growing season, I am in no hurry to wish away these winter months. The calm and quiet of January gives me, like the plants, time to rest and rejuvenate. If I pray too hard for the arrival of springtime, it comes too fast. I much prefer to earn the days of spring surprises by appreciating all the days of repose required beforehand.
