It never really came, but it will :) I hope.
I have to say I was dreading a bit of cold weather. I still am just a bit, but... really enjoying it.

In Puerto Rico, our windows are shutters, there are no screens at my Abuela Maria's house, and the chickens would come and go. I loved when the breeze would make the curtains flow and the openness of the house.
We don't have heaters for sure in the house or AC. That is really a luxury. To connect with nature :)
Thus I haven't added screens to the studio, love the windows open, and well, the heater...
That is just new. Maybe not that big a deal to many.
Big deal to me :) Huge!

It used to take so long to warm up the studio, but now...
In just a few minutes and it is ready for me to sit and be.

The space is open, the heater is keeping me warm, and I get to observe all of Mother Nature around me, and I just love this little space.
So quaint, so real.
I love the flaws that make it just perfect.

I see so much with Winter eyes.
I see areas I want to touch up on, I see areas that just work, and I see areas I don't like. It is so refreshing.
There is something about turning inward.
Turning inward is the place of knowledge.

I am hoping for snow soon, just so we can all be forced to turn inward more.
So much fear within the cabin fever scene.
But b/c we were not born with fur, I strongly think that Mother Nature has intended us to reconnect and re-ground with her.

What better way than with the silence of snow?
It is so silent that when you walk on the snow-covered ground you can hear just the most beautiful echo of your step.
But only if you move mindfully enough.

Maybe for a moment.
Face North.
Re-ground.
And then take one step towards Love.
