My new year started with Samhain. I’m not going to let Pope Gregory XIII and the Gregorian calendar boss me around.
Sometimes I feel winter inside of me. I feel winter outside right now. I am part of nature. So, why would I not also feel winter inside of me at times? It is okay to feel winter, both internally and externally. In fact, it is necessary. Winter is natural. Winter brings us back to the basics, back to what really matters. We need winter. Let yourself feel it, and then, allow yourself to enjoy and appreciate the warmth that follows.
I don’t go hiking. I go walking with a mountain… It’s like hiking but with more awareness… It’s hiking. I go hiking.
