Brian, I agree with you. Winter is challenging, and also healing. It’s like an x-ray of our lives, isn’t it? A time to see life in a simple, skeletal way—unembellished. Beautiful just as it is. I hear your willingness to live in the vivid present. I hope you’ll intentionally feel the cold outside—and then notice the warmth that comes from the inside. It’s your own earnest, warm heart. Thanks always for this honest reflection. May your winter sabbatical be restful and illuminating for you.
I really like this observation re: Autumn and the quiet and reflection because "Embracing this is countercultural, as we hear our societal message to push, to produce, and to never stop."

Thanks Ann, I appreciate the kind wish!

It can be so tough. If I can remember everyone else’s priorities don’t have to be mine then it’s easier. But it’s not so easy to remember!
This was such a lovely read Brian. I feel you on the need to take more time to rest this winter. Enjoy the quieter, slower season.
Thanks I hope you do as well!
Thank you Brian!
