winter wisdom

Winters bring with it moist dew filled mornings, delicious sun, blue cloudless skies, and blazing flowers along tree lined thoroughfares. Winters wrap up the packages of the year - its delights and its misgivings - in tinsel and in grey. Life, as we see it and deal with it, decides what we do with these packages; do we simply stow them away so that we need not be reminded of it ever so often? or do we carefully put it someplace which makes us hark back and delve deeper into its essence? the coyness of spring, the brazenness of summer, the reticence of autumn or the intensity of winters - life packages in its myriad hues. we embrace the joyous and abandon the despairs. winters remind us of the cycle of life and death, day and night, happiness and sorrow, light and darkness. there is no getting away from either. we learn to enfold all our experiences and call it the wisdom of winters. with its many enchanting charms, winter is the wisest teacher.
