The text explores the concept of "seasons of self" and draws parallels between human nature and nature itself. It reflects on the experience of feeling dormant and stuck, like in winter, unable to make progress or decisions. However, it suggests that even in these moments, there is a vital longing within us that can bring joy and guide us forward. Rest and restoration are essential, just as winter is a time for spring to rest. By reflecting on our deepest longings, we can remember what is vital and essential to us, and this inner guidance can help us find our own way forward. The text encourages self-contemplation and recognizing the value of inner compass and originality. It emphasizes the importance of seeking guidance from those who create space for self-reflection, allowing us to reset and move forward on our own unique path.
