Thank you for this, I so appreciate your attentiveness to the darkness. I’m grateful to live in a place where we can be in a prolonged time of darkness. The darkness is regenerative, a time to tend to deeper roots and silences. I enjoy the feasting and gathering with friends and family for the holidays, and the minute they’re over, a quiet January with plenty of night, with twilit mornings and late afternoons, are so welcome.

Thank you for these thoughts. I absolutely love the Abi Palmer quote. I also love fungi - sadly the fruiting bodies are mostly gone now where I live. Happy dark days to you!
