There Are Seasons for Quiet, and Seasons for Becoming

Listening to the Rhythm of Your Soul

We live in a culture that glorifies constant motion, always urging us to do more, be more, show more. But the soul? The soul moves differently.

The soul is seasonal.

And just like the natural world cycles through winter’s hush and spring’s unfurling, so too do we.

Some seasons arrive quietly. They ask us to slow down, soften our edges, and settle into the stillness. These are the times when nothing seems to be moving on the surface, when we might question our momentum, our clarity, even our worth. But something sacred is always stirring in the quiet.

Other seasons surge with becoming. These are the times when the fog lifts, the energy rises, and what once felt dormant begins to take shape. We begin to see the outlines of what we’ve been tending in the dark. These seasons ask us to show up, stretch, share, and step forward with gentle courage.

Neither season is better than the other.
Neither one means you’re behind or ahead.
They are simply different parts of the same sacred unfolding.

You don’t have to force one when you’re in the other.
You don’t have to bloom in winter, or retreat in spring.
You don’t have to push your way into becoming when your soul is asking for stillness.
You don’t have to shrink yourself back into quiet when what’s rising wants to be seen.

Trust the season you’re in.
Even if it doesn’t match the pace of the world around you.
Even if no one else can see what’s taking shape within.

There is no rush. There is only rhythm.

There are seasons for quiet, and seasons for becoming.
Your soul knows the difference.
And it will guide you, always, toward what’s next.
