As midwinter approaches, many people slow down a bit to reflect, and to listen to the world around them. The internality of the season invites us to take stock of what we have, and grieve what we’ve lost. For many, it’s a time to pay attention to the relationships that give our lives meaning. “Winter Hymns” brings us into the emotional world that characterizes these end-of-year reflections, often using nature as a lens. Winter is a time of profound changes in the natural world, where the colors of fall give way to the austerity of December. These changes affect us deeply, shaping our moods and outlook. Within winter’s gloom, though, are hints of abundance. The vibrancy of an evergreen in snow. A glimpse of a silent barred owl. Stars emerging from a brilliant winter sunset. A flash of red as a cardinal flies by. In “Winter Hymns,” these images lead us into a space of celebration and reflection, where we consider what connects us to loves ones, to nature, and to home. TEXT: Come ‘round the evergreen, Come ‘round and sing; “Oh, joy to see you, Oh joy, joy!: All the birds gather at the evergreen In its boughs, we fold our winds, And in the rush of gathering, (Ah, ah,) And in the rush of reuniting at the evergreen, (Ah, ah,) Come round and sing; “Oh, joy to see you, Oh joy, joy!” -Shara Nova
