Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May

emotional hopeful informative inspiring mysterious reflective sad slow-paced

“Life meanders like a path through the woods. We have seasons when we flourish and seasons when the leaves fall from us, revealing our bare bones. Given time, they grow again.”

“Doing those deeply unfashionable things—slowing down, letting your spare time expand, getting enough sleep, resting—is a radical act now, but it is essential. This is a crossroads we all know, a moment when you need to shed a skin. If you do, you’ll expose all those painful nerve endings and feel so raw that you’ll need to take care of yourself for a while. If you don’t, then that skin will harden around you.”

5/5🌟 I read this in January and adored the lyrical writing and the wholesome, gentle message of responding to the need to slow down.
