Winter, like every season, is a necessary phase of life. The tilt of the earth will yield the lack of sunlight that gives this season its reigning attributes. Cold, darkness, and death. We experience winter seasons in our life which are defined by the same attributes. These seasons will define our character and mold our being to depths that the other warmer seasons cannot touch, but it is a decision we must make whether we come out better or worse than we were. The Frosted Gates are ones that we will all find ourselves standing before at one time or another in this life. There is a beauty therein that only the cold and death can reveal and strength and hope that only the darkness can forge.
