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

emotional hopeful inspiring reflective slow-paced

2.75

“Winter is a quiet house in lamplight, a spin in the garden to see bright stars and a clear night, the roar of the wood-burning stove, and the accompanying smell of charred wood. It is warming the tea pot and making cups of bitter cocoa; it is stews magic from bones with dumplings floating like clouds. It is reading quietly and passing away the afternoon watching movies. It is thick socks in the bundle of a cardigan.” — page 76

“On balance, it’s where I prefer to be: somewhere in the middle. Certainty is a dead space, in which there’s no more room to grow. Wavering is painful. I’m glad to be traveling between the two.“ — page 83
