Book cover for Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times
The final role of their lives is to go out foraging, because this is the most dangerous task of all, and older bees are expendable. Likely we only ever see ancient bees, sent out on risky missions to gather nectar for carbs and pollen for ...more

“but when I told her they didn’t cost one penny and were very nutritious (I made that part up, but I’m sure it must be true), she ate them up. She packed them into her lunch pail this morning, and when I looked”
Ruth Reichl, Delicious!

“When your children arrive, the best you can hope for is that they break open everything about you. Your mind floods with oxygen. Your heart becomes a room with wide-open windows.

And gradually, through this heart-heavy openness and these fresh eyes, you start to see the world a little more.”
Amy Poehler, Yes Please
