When the life of the fields begins to slumber and Old Man Winter pulls his coat on, we gently put our yards and gardens to rest. As you bed down your scrap of Earth or window box for the winter, stroke the soil gently and tuck it in with leaves or other winter mulch to encourage fresh life in the spring. This is a great way to snuggle in bulbs for springtime blooms and it can encourage us to let go of the cycles of the past and embrace the future. Singing to the Earth is a sonic offering of love and gratitude, which reminds us of the larger cosmic vibrations that we are a part of. As the wheel spins ever 'round and change greets us anew, singing the Earth to sleep can inspire us to give thanks for what we have harvested. This opens us to experience the fullness of each season in turn.
