"So many feel lethargic , unmotivated , or worn out in this hemisphere. We are really not made to rocket straight through Winter , ablaze with energy . Look at nature . The ground , the plants , the animals are deep at rest . This is the natural way of things . Spend some time with the long nights , the moon , solitude , the bare earth , stillness . Be easier on yourself .. ~ Victoria Erickson ~
