Yes! all of the things, I too have had the cough that eventually retreated, hope by now that yours is on it's way. The wintering is still very real for me, I am not ready to be rushing into Spring, but when I do I will take comfort in your prescription, thank you. xx
I, too, am taking Wintering seriously this year. Sitting here watching another sheet of freezing rain fall over the layers of snow. My cough is almost gone, yes. I'm glad both of us are on the mend, slowly making our quiet way to spring. :)
I needed this today. The faith based non profit have worked at for 10 years is being vilified on the cesspool site because we assist with legal immigration as we have done for 40 years. Hate, anger, lies. Today I have been doing a few things to return to normalcy - a walk, a snuggle with my cat, avoiding the news for an hour.
I love this image of three worlds, Amy! There's a visceral space created here where all three overlap in the darkness of the cave--this 'tween place we're in with current events... the darkness of winter... the vast ether of the Otherworld... Thank you for presencing these energies and ideas. Beautiful!
I love your writing: "The ancients were not fools. They knew their stories were not meant to be literal, but to honor a cosmic order." We need your voice in the world. As Peter Kingsley warns in Catafalque, we are doomed if civilization fails to connect with its roots in soul.
Beautiful Jen. I had a similar journey after the election. Then the wild fires in LA broke my heart. Now the message from the deep is to commit to meaningful work. Dig in the earth. Walk in the hills.
Yes, the world keeps breaking and breaking our hearts. I am feeling this with you. What more can we do but let them break open? We will know how to help and we WILL help when we are called.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear this. Snuggle that cat - and bless you for the good work that you do.

Thank you, Mary. We need the whole chorus I think. The whole cacophony. .
I’m with you.
