Oh I just loved this! I took a 6 month hiatus on socials (and Substack too) but my first piece back was inspired by the seasons. I love this shifting of the weather and really feel like summer is actually our winter phase (so many of our plants wither and die, it’s too harsh to be out in the elements etc.)

Right! What you said a few months ago really struck a chord for me! I wither and die myself in Summer, and I feel like Winter is my time to create, express and be out in the world with more aplomb. The seasons tell us so much 🤍🌀

I always felt like southern and northern hemispheres felt polar opposites but this year I came to realise while they experienced winter I too wanted to hibernate naturally (different extremes but extremes nonetheless!)

Yes! Witnessing how polarising I felt across the year showed me how they truly are just that… extremes.

Also, I love that you took time off socials, I had a good 2 months off myself and found so much more time and capacity had opened up for reading, creation and resting! It’s been wonderful to see this continue since popping back onto the metaverse
