Balance
There is balance in the cold winter earth providing nesting for seeds, nuts and leaves fallen from trees. As these small treasures lay nestled in a cushion of snow or preserved within ice, life continues preparing for the next season to come.
So much emerging occurs in unison with death. Before a new season begins, already there are preparations for the one that will follow, which is also dependent upon remnants from the one passing away. Yes, the circle of life. There is always a fine balance between life and death, befores and afters.
