The Winter Pause Button


A white blanket falls upon the frozen ground; a gift from the winter skies for our hibernating gardens. Can we call January, that bone chilling month, a perfect moment in the landscape? If we hit the pause button, nothing else in the garden matters other than its raw beauty. As Albert Einstein’s words remind us, “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” If you want to be awake in the spring, hit the winter pause button and enjoy the scenery!
