Description
"An intimate, revelatory book exploring the ways we can care for and repair ourselves when life knocks us down. Sometimes you slip through the cracks: unforeseen circumstances like an abrupt illness, the death of a loved one, a break up, or a job loss can derail a life. These periods of dislocation can be lonely and unexpected. For May, her husband fell ill, her son stopped attending school, and her own medical issues led her to leave a demanding job. Wintering explores how she not only endured this painful time, but embraced the singular opportunities it offered. A moving personal narrative shot through with lessons from literature, mythology, and the natural world, May's story offers instruction on the transformative power of rest and retreat. Illumination emerges from many sources: solstice celebrations and dormice hibernation, C.S. Lewis and Sylvia Plath, swimming in icy waters and sailing Arctic seas. Ultimately Wintering invites us to change how we relate to our own fallow times. May models an active acceptance of sadness and finds nourishment in deep retreat, joy in the hushed beauty of winter, and encouragement in understanding life as cyclical, not linear. A secular mystic, May forms a guiding philosophy for transforming the hardships that arise before the ushering in of a new season"--,Provided by publisher.
Description
"A veces te escapas por las grietas: circunstancias imprevistas como una enfermedad repentina, la muerte de un ser querido, una ruptura o la p̌rdida del trabajo pueden descarrilar una vida. Estos per̕odos de dislocaci̤n pueden ser solitarios e inesperados. Para May, su esposo se enferm̤, su hijo dej̤ de asistir a la escuela y sus propios problemas m̌dicos la llevaron a dejar un trabajo exigente. Invernando explora c̤mo ella no solo soport̤ este doloroso momento, sino que aprovech̤ las oportunidades singulares que le ofrec̕a. Una conmovedora narraci̤n personal repleta de lecciones de la literatura, la mitolog̕a y el mundo natural, la historia de May ofrece instrucci̤n sobre el poder transformador del descanso y el retiro. La iluminaci̤n surge de muchas fuentes: las celebraciones del solsticio y la hibernaci̤n del lir̤n, C.S. Lewis y Sylvia Plath, nadando en aguas heladas y navegando por los mares r̀ticos. En l͠tima instancia, Invernando nos invita a cambiar la forma en que nos relacionamos con nuestros propios tiempos de barbecho. May modela una aceptaci̤n activa de la tristeza y encuentra alimento en un retiro profundo, alegr̕a en la belleza silenciosa del invierno y est̕mulo para entender la vida como c̕clica, no lineal. May, un m̕stico secular, forma una filosof̕a rectora para transformar las dificultades que surgen antes del inicio de una nueva temporada."--,Publisher description.
