Somewhere beneath it all...

Описание: Y’know, looking out at that unbroken field of snow, especially when it’s this deep and heavy, it’s very easy to feel the oppressiveness and the inevitability of it all. Winter’s a time of dying off – a time of silence, solitude. And that can be a little hard to navigate for some of us.

It’s obvious that we live in a time that’s pretty oppressive. Things are coming at us left and right. They seem to pile up. The world can feel pretty cold and heavy. We can feel pretty alone and isolated.

But there’s another aspect to winter that’s important to keep in mind. Yes, there is a dying off now, but it’s a necessary dying off. It’s the removal of the old things, the removal of the things that no longer serve. And as those things fall away, they open up space for new growth. Yes, it’s a time of quiet, a time of slowing down, but it’s also a time of contemplation, of taking stock, of allowing the blessings that we’ve received throughout the year to settle into our bones...

This channel is not about quick fixes or magic bullets. I’m not a doctor, a psychologist, a psychiatrist, or a so-called “expert” in any capacity. I’m simply a fellow traveler, trying to find his way back home. During this long, difficult, ongoing, and deeply rewarding journey, I’ve come to know both the responsibility—and the great privilege—of walking alongside others as they do the same. Here, words are spoken slowly, prayers are released, and space is held for those navigating their own path of healing, faith, and becoming—trusting that what is given to the wind will be found by those who are ready to receive it.

A meditation on winter’s deep, heavy snow — the oppressiveness, silence, solitude, and the cold, heavy world that can leave us feeling alone. A reminder of the necessary dying off, the removal of the old things that no longer serve, and the quiet slowing down that opens space for new growth, contemplation, taking stock, and letting blessings settle into our bones.
