As we move away from the brilliant fiery finale of autumn into the badlands of greyscale, I struggle with hibernation, drinking hot tea while the rain falls, in love with the simplicity and the slowness, seeking a balance between the natural energy of the season and the desire not to separate myself from what is still a thriving world outside. My projects continue to roll onward, some of them lessening by a few degrees, giving me the chance to have a few breaths and more reflection on my life and how I’m living it.
