TMR 6: Mystery

---

When I outlined my reflection topics for this series, I figured mystery would be a fitting topic for the wintry pair of months at the start of the new year. I had rather hoped inspiration would stem, at least in part, from the snow-blanketed landscape. I also had hoped for a winter of skiable snow. I envisioned setting out across fields and skiing trails to explore familiar surroundings in new ways. Winter has a special magic of transformation and mystery, a magic I thought might translate into a reflection idea. 

Instead, this winter was shaped with influences from El Niño, making it follow a different pattern of precipitation and temperatures. Nature reminding us that it is a powerful force in our lives. 

These two months have been filled with magic though. Little moments of surprise, joy, inspiration, connection. All collected and strung together, these moments have helped the months to glow for me. Times when something on a walk or in a conversation sparked joy or inspiration within me. Or when a special connection was woven ever deeper with trust, safety, and strength. 

Sometimes there are so many mysteries in the everyday that they become a warm feeling that floats within. And I like that winter provides a quiet setting in which to reflect on that warmth. That even when a day, week, month, or season flows a little bit differently, there is still something to inspire us. There is something to make us smile. Mystery is everywhere.
