Thanks for this, Kolina. This might be the year I re-read Wintering. I, too, found it to be such a transformative read. I'm embracing slower, quieter days right now. Would welcome the beauty of snow. 💜
It’s raining here right now and I am really wishing it was snow! I think it’s the year I’ll re-read Wintering too. In fact, it strikes me as a good annual re-read!
“When it’s really cold, the snow makes a lovely noise underfoot, and it’s like the air is full of stars.” Wow, I know exactly that feeling but never had such lovely words for it. Thank you.
this is such a lovely sentiment, Kolina— and so well-said. I have been thinking about how in the last few days of darkness and uncertainty, the things that have helped me the most have been community, and books. I love the idea of wintering and will certainly pick this book up. Thank you 💙
Kolina, your message comes at a time when I need to know that I’m not alone in what I’m feeling. At first I didn’t know what to do with these feelings, but I’m learning there are ways to take care of my feelings and of myself in the process. Your words are part of that. Thank you!
On your recommendation I bought “Wintering.” I started reading it and was immediately reminded of May Sarton’s beautiful little book called “Journal of a Solitude,” which I read during another dark time. Thank you for suggesting “Wintering.” I love it already.
Thank you. With immense gratitude, thank you. This was much needed today.
I am so glad to hear it, Audra. Take care of yourself. 🤍

Gorgeous right? I’d never thought about it that way! ❄️
Love this and loved Wintering. I feel like I read it at the right moment for me too <3 I recommend Enchantment by her too!
I haven’t read Enchantment yet but I really want to!

Community and books. That’s a beautiful idea of what will get us through this!

I am so happy to hear that Barb. I needed this today, too. I encourage you to pick up Wintering. It might help 🤍

I haven’t read that book but now I’m interested! Thank you for taking my recommendation seriously. I hope you continue to love Wintering!
Currently, I'm reading Quiet Night Think - poems and essays by Gillian Sze. I'm finding in it a place of active reflection and peace.
That sounds like the exact right book for you right now. 🤍
