Fall has flown away, and now winter, the season of guarding your resources, hunkering in and down, is arriving. In spite of the upcoming festivities, take time to be quiet, to listen to the small sounds around you -- a twig, a raindrop, a step on a pavement. Hear yourself. This is the vibe of winter -- deep, dark, and still.
The title of one of my favorite books beautifully evokes the type of behavior supported by winter: The Slow Regard of Silent Things.
Let's see if we can do a little of that this season.
(The book has no relationship to winter, by the way).
