i love learning about how little guys stay cozy after it gets so cold, like some literally grow their own winter coats or build tiny grass nests deep in the earth or make powdery snow beds to sleep in. others go on vacation to The South — whether that’s socal, mexico or even the southern cone, where it is summer rn. then there are the hibernators, who go into a really deep sleep and occasionally wake up drowsily to pick at some food they saved months ago. in the north, the active ones rely on seeds and berries to survive, while their typical prey, insects, disappear into mud and rest until spring. such a dreamy state of existence for so many critters. 🤍

Q: what do you want this year to feel like?

A: like sitting on your front porch with a midnight blue ceramic mug. it is filled to the brim with hot black coffee, the coconut milk still swirling. you are cupping it with both hands and holding it close to your chest, its golden rim glimmering in the early morning glow.

an herbal and floral steam rises from a pregnant earth that drips and dews, fills the air. a fine blanket of warmth falls over your face, your home, as sunlight begins to travel across and down and up and through. the snow is melting. it’s all melting. time is but a faint whisper these days, though you still wear it as a necklace. you take a sip. a bird lets out a sharp cry. then stillness. a car zooms by. then stillness. then stillness.
