with Hannah Lee

“I recognised winter. I saw it coming (a mile off, since you ask), and I looked it in the eye. I greeted it and let it in. I had some tricks up my sleeve, you see. I’ve learned them the hard way. When I started feeling the drag of winter, I began to treat myself like a favored child: with kindness and love. I assumed my needs were reasonable and that my feelings were signals of something important. I kept myself well fed and made sure I was getting enough sleep. I took myself for walks in the fresh air and spent time doing things that soothed me. I asked myself: What is this winter all about? I asked myself: What change is coming?” 

-Katherine May

In the Northern Hemisphere we often treat the cold, dark winter days with a kind of dread. What if there is another way? What if, instead of yearning for the perpetual growth and activity of summer, we see the winter as an important time to slow down, follow the cycle of the seasons, and allow ourselves time to hibernate?
