Winter is a time of withdrawing from the world... but that is where the transformation occurs. Winter is not the death of the life cycle, but its crucible. Once we stop wishing it were summer, winter can be a glorious season in which the world takes on a sparse beauty and even the pavements sparkle. It’s a time for reflection and recuperation, for slow replenishment, for putting your house in order.

Yes :) I always like to think of winter as "hibernation" time, a time to let life slow down a bit, if I can... :)
