Katherine May How Wintering Replenishes
b'In so many stories and fables that shape us, cold and snow, the closing in of the light \\u2014 these have deep psychological as much as physical reality. This is \\u201cwintering,\\u201d as the English writer Katherine May illuminates in her beautiful, meditative book of that title \\u2014 at once a season of the natural world, a respite our bodies require, and a state of mind. Krista first spoke with Katherine in midwinter 2020, and their conversation continues to offer a helpful container for our pandemic time: as one vast, extended, communal experience of wintering. As 2021 draws to a close \\u2014 still with so much to metabolize and to carry, with an aching need for replenishment \\u2014 Katherine May opens up exactly what so many have needed to hear, but haven\\u2019t known how to name.'
