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

We discovered a bee on the top of our daughter’s car the day after Christmas. It was loaded with pollen and seemingly out of gas. After reading this I understand what was happening.

“Dusk had fallen, and when I stepped outside, I was drawn to the light spilling from the barn, golden and inviting. I poked my head in. Margaret had outdone herself. The long tables were covered in cream linen. Squash-colored tapers stood tall in sparkling silver candelabras. Fat bouquets of sunflowers, goldenrod, and black-eyed Susans stuffed into mason jars were surrounded by tiny pumpkins and crab apples. I looked up to see a thousand white Christmas lights hanging from the rafters. The whole room glowed.”
Louise Miller, The City Baker's Guide to Country Living

Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

“We often think that combining tasks will save us time, but scientific evidence shows that it has the opposite effect. Even those who claim to be good at multitasking are not very productive. In fact, they are some of the least productive people.”
Hector Garcia Puigcerver, Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life

“There were probably too many exclamation points, but I couldn’t bear to erase them. I wanted to take shelter behind their manic enthusiasm, their idiotic sparkle.”
Rebecca Makkai, The Borrower
