Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times

 

I love solitude.

And peace and quiet.

So imagine me having 5 children.

Whom I love dearly by the way and I wouldn't want to miss them for the world.

I miss being alone

But I do miss being me.

Just me, myself and I.

There's always someone around.

Sometimes I feel like I'm slowly fading away.

Wintering

So when I saw Katherin May's book Wintering and the promise of the power of rest and retreat in difficult times I immediately thought: 

'I want to read that book!' 

Unfortunately it wasn't as great as I had thought. For one thing Katherine goes on a lot of holidays. And I like to find my peace and quiet in my own home. I like appreciating the little things. 

Without taking a trip.

The only trip I want to take is the trip within.
