Winter thoughts
I always start to suffer withdrawal symptoms around this time of year; when the mornings are dark as you’re going to work and when the evenings are dark as you’re coming home. When you start to feel the world contract around you, funneling down and down with you at the centre surrounded on all sides by darkness. That’s what winter feels like to me; everything coming to an end, hibernating, just wanting to sleep until the light returns in the spring.
Spring and summer are the very opposite. You feel the world expanding as the light returns and the weather (hopefully) improves. The air seems laden with promise - that this year will be a good year. All sorts of good things will befall you as you emerge from hibernation and take on the world again. The light mornings and light evenings fill you with hope and energy. You can breathe.
