Be more conscious of the winter, it’s place in the world, and the ways the cold can be good. All the greenage has died, quite lovely, I can see the whole of the branches.

Most of the time, when I’m mad about something, I’ll think back on it months later and be like “wait why did I even care about that?” We should collectively all try that with Winter. The air smells so fucking good. Like where is that mystery campfire coming from?? I feel like every time I step outside and take a breath, I level up. I get that you think you don’t like the cold. It took me a while to understand that “acquired taste” means a taste that I can STILL acquire. Now when I don’t like food, I just eat it until I do. This January, when your unadjustable New York apartment heat is cranked so high that you can smell the lead paint melting off the walls, take a step outside onto your stoop for a breath of that crispy ass chimney-scented air, and remember DBG sent you there.

they do so much for the overall atmosphere of winter. the soup tastes better, the blankets are warmer, the snow is shinier, the holidays (days in general) are more peaceful. everything has a bow on it, or at least a golden sparkle. i used to spend hours trying to find a specific Irish lullaby—never found it. what i did find was the undeniable correlation between "winter songs" and lullabies. the softness of their nature, bringing joy and the light-silk of a shivery morning. i wrote a winter song—well, i enjoy writing winter songs. if i can think of snow, i'm probably already a big fan of the song(s). i love listening to their peace and love. here is "Jolly".

today was the first day in southern louisiana winter that reached below freezing temperatures. i’m always grateful for the biting wet cold when it does arrive since it usually prompts a bit of inner winter:introspection:invitation to slow down.
what are some of your simple winter pleasures?

I will continue to wear dresses like this until the day I die and no one can stop me

Tell that café person you like their sweater! This once led to me forming a band with them

Sometimes, if my cat really wants my attention, he‘ll grab my leg loosely and bite me, where it hurts for a bit but leaves no mark nor blood. It’s not quite fun- but I think it serves a meaningful place in life
