Oh Rachel, this was so beautifully written! This winter felt never ending for me as well. Thank you for reminding me I wasn't alone in this feeling 🥹

Thanks, Shae! You certainly weren’t alone, even if the season inspires necessary solitude. It sounds like you’re just as excited for the expansion that follows as I am.

Thank you so much for mentioning me. This is really helpful. I also loved the open poetry (I’m not sure if it’s considered poetry but I read it that way). Well done! 💙

This was a GOT winter is here kinda winter. Because I packaged the end of it with a change of chapter in my lofe, it seemed to take its sweet time. The lessons were that much louder for me to learn and for that I’m grateful. As much as i have a distaste for the season, this winter was beneficial, almost like beets.

I have also had a tough winter and am nervous about its ending. Life is so absurd and so grand!

Isn’t it! It’s a paradox and a gift to experience its loving brutalities.
