wintering

the gray blanket of november has been laid upon us. and i am not complaining. i particularly like this month of transition. and it is coming at a time while i needed a rest. i spent the entire day on the couch beside the fire reading Katherine May’s superb book called Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times. i highly recommend it. with caveats. it’s the kind of book where timing is everything–you must simply be in the mood to receive it. if you think you might be ready for it, it’s the perfect time of year to make a hot drink, sink into a big comfy chair, and spend an entire afternoon with katherine in her english seaside town of whistable. you won’t regret it.
