In winter, it's time to remove old crops, prune, cut, turn the soil, pull out weeds, reorganise, and let the land rest. This involves some destruction, which is necessary to prepare the soil for spring. We want the soil to be strong and full of energy when spring arrives.
This idea of destruction in the garden is very therapeutic for those who work the land. It teaches us that destruction is part of life's process. Things must break down both symbolically and literally to allow new growth.
Understanding this cycle of life and death helps us see life in a healthier, more balanced way. When we face trauma or difficult times, this metaphor from nature can help us view our challenges more gently.
