Perhaps we could rename winter “bear time”. I think that might help me to look forward to it. I saw a bear on my way home on Thursday and blogged about bear wisdom. Don’t know how to post link using IPad.
Love it…”bear time”….time for introspection and wisdom…. : )
Joss, your post about seeing the bear as you were driving home reminded me of the “bear wisdom”…I took my old page and created these new pages… maybe I should add “creating” to that list of “bear wisdom” qualities…the female is “growing/creating” babies inside of herself and the den…
Here’s the link to your wonderful bear wisdom post http://crowingcrone.com/2012/11/15/i-saw-a-bear/
How interesting! I have a great deal of interest in bears, but this is a really great way to consider what they have to teach!
I find bears very special and like the idea of their “wisdom”….I’ve used bears before in a book I called “Bearable”… for kids dealing with procrastination/avoidance etc…well, for their teachers and parents to help them through that… “it may be hard, but it is bearable”….avoiding suffering. youtube of the book: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=x6VRcCh2IJY http://pocketperspectives.wordpress.com/2011/09/22/bearable-it-may-be-hard-but-it-is-bearable/
How wonderful! Thank you for sharing about your book! I will most certainly be interested!
Nature is a teacher and thanks to the bear wisdom, you have given me new perspective on winter.
Nature…and bears…are wonderful teachers…if we look at winter as a time for developing wisdom, understanding etc…well then those rainy days (here in CA) and long nights can be useful…cave time.
ps… I almost added a p.s. page, way at the bottom… with the bear suggesting I go put on my sweatpants because my legs were cold…
…my daughter was encouraging me to add it, a frisky influence there…but I didn’t want to throw off the bear wisdom…but I do have another image page with the bear suggesting that! 
Kathy, I was starting to struggle today with the dark, rainy day. Here in Oregon it rains almost every day during the winter. I need to shift my perspective because I don’t have the power to make the sun shine.
Oh, I understand. I wish I could figure out how to independently access the “inner” energy that I get from sunshine…there must be a way, in fact, I’m sure there’s a way, but I don’t know how! I try to appreciate how much I love the green of nature, and without the rain it couldn’t happen…but still…. Wishing you well…. rfaf is just right today.
I used to be grumpy as a bear in winter . . . hibernating in my den as much as possible to avoid the cold dark gray days between autumn and spring.
And then I moved to Florida!
Great move to Florida! I moved from NH to California, many years ago…and just LOVE the mini-seasons…just enough to provide variety, but inspiring winter daylight, blue skies, enough rain for nature to renew and GREEN hills and flowers in the winter. Isn’t “winter” sunshine amazing!?! Sunbears!
