twisting deeper

As I was walking to yoga I noticed that winter's cold had dropped to a new place.  It's colder than it's been, but certaily not as cold as it will be.  It reminded me of going into a deep seated twist:
inhale- sit tall, lengthen the spine
exhale- move deeper into the twist

As we twist deeper and deeper into winter, the deepening motion inhales for almost rhythmic pauses.  The whole eco-system breathes into the new, colder reality.  We pause there for a moment, then exhaling, move deeper and deeper into winter.
