Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times
An intimate, revelatory exploration of the ways we can care for and repair ourselves when life knocks us down, Wintering invites its readers to change how they relate to fallow times by taking an active acceptance of sadness in order to find nourishment in deep retreat, joy in the hushed beauty of winter, and encouragement in understanding life as cyclical, not linear, process.
"Proves that there is grace in letting go, stepping back and giving yourself time to repair in the dark ... May is a clear-eyed observer and her language is steady, honest and accurate in capturing the sense, the beauty and the latent power of our resting landscapes." -- Wall Street Journal
