“People do tend to burrow in for winter holidays but then burrowing can be as damaging (implosion, avoidance) as it can be cozy (buzzword: self-care) maybe one maybe t'other maybe some of both.” BalanceStressWinterDamageSelf CareDualityAvoidanceHolidaysTis The Season Author:Shellen Lubin
“When the world is so fraught and full of fire-- hearts and minds and countries burning up burning down-- going in may be the escape urge-- as if it's no longer there-- but it's all still there all the time-- reading news or not-- outside looking at seasonal lights store window displays children's cherry-cheeked faces or not-- even when heads are buried in pillows. Take a break to breathe. The frenzy and furor continue. Take a break to weep. The exquisite beauty is still there. All continues on and will be there upon return.” WarPeaceBalanceConflictStressReleaseSelf CareEscapeHolidaysTis The Season Author:Shellen Lubin
