shifting

Periods of writing
have become few and far between.

Me,
settling into the slowness
of the lingering winter season
with her cool air and cloudy skies.

I grant permission
to embrace slowness.

This is a time to absorb
creativity around me,
to focus less on creating.

Shifting projects, priorities,
selecting new sources of inspiration.

Seasons shift,
evolve,
surprise and endure.
