Katherine May
“If happiness is a skill, then sadness is, too. Perhaps through all those years at school, or perhaps through other terrors, we are taught to ignore sadness, to stuff it down into our satchels and pretend it isn’t there. As adults, we often have to learn to hear the clarity of its call. That is wintering. It is the active acceptance of sadness. It is the practice of allowing ourselves to feel it as a need. It is the courage to stare down the worst parts of our experience and to commit to healing them the best we can. Wintering is a moment of intuition, our true needs felt keenly as a knife.”
Katherine May, Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times

Maggie Nelson
“It is easier, of course, to find dignity in one’s solitude. Loneliness is solitude with a problem.”
Maggie Nelson, Bluets

Ralph Waldo Emerson
“I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”

“The world is almost peaceful when you stop trying to understand it.”
