Not only at this time of year, but especially at this time of year, I need to make room for solitude. We have in our city an area called The Nature Trail, where deer, fox, squirrels, and a variety of birds call home. It is preserved to be as natural a habitat for them as possible. I walk there often, and often alone. I stop to watch a bird flit from branch to branch, or observe the peacefulness of deer grazing. Even in December, the foliage holds its own kind of beauty. It seems to say, "It's time to rest and preserve resources."
I can be more when I make time to do less, like watch a winter bird enjoying the moment.
Thanks for sharing. This time of the year is hard for me. Great suggestions to help focus on God. Merry Christmas Michelle
