Winter hibernation
You can’t fight your instincts
For ages, non-equatorial people worked the land in spring, summer, and fall. Then when the Earth grew cold and dark they rested.
Yes animals still needed some tending, wood stores may have depleted or food ran low and fasting was necessary, but winter was a time to just survive. A time to get through the harshest aspect to appreciate the light and the warmth when it returned.
Modern conveniences make us forget that
Comforts and indulgences bury what we know deep down inside.
Don’t forget where everything comes from. Don’t forget to stay wild.
