Isa standstill ice, freezing withdrawal |
The winter, a time of free and standing still.
Make time to contemplate, and be prepared to sacrifice the old. Holding on results in shallowness.
This is the necessary time of ice and cold before the spring. Submit, be still, enjoy your solitude.
In the Prose Edda, the frost-giant Ymir is born of ice.
