"Winter is the time to plant seeds that will grow, *as if* they will bloom."
"Winter is the time to plant seeds that will grow, *as if* they will bloom. All seeds: plants, trees, children, ideas, dreams and wishes – require this time of waiting – being hidden in darkness, in the womb, in the earth. In this way too, all losses can be planted and cared for as seeds or songs or prayers. This is the season of the darkest night, and we may as well inhabit it
with our deepest longing."
