✨ Wintering ✨
Every year, I return to the book ~ Wintering ~ by Katherine May. I think it’s because I need the reminder — that we move through seasons, inside and out.
I have a complicated relationship with winter. I love it, but it also takes something from me. The stillness, the cold, the shorter days — it slows me and it invites me to hibernate.
But I’m learning to live with it, to listen to it. Knitting has helped. Wool has helped. The rhythm of my hands, the warmth of the fibers, they remind me that winter isn’t an ending — it’s a slow beginning.
As Katherine May writes,
“We have seasons when we flourish and seasons when the leaves fall from us, revealing our bare bones. Given time, they grow again.”
I think I’m growing again — quietly, slowly, softly. ❄️🧶
