“Doing those deeply unfashionable things—slowing down, letting your spare time expand, getting enough sleep, resting—is a radical act now, but it is essential. This is a crossroads we all know, a moment when you need to shed a skin. If you do, you’ll expose all those painful nerve endings and feel so raw that you’ll need to take care of yourself for a while. If you don’t, then that skin will harden around you.”
Katherine May - Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times, 2020.
Guillaume Seignac - Asleep, Naked with a Black Cat, 1870-1924.
