I read this over the summer, and enjoyed it then, but this article makes so much sense to me. It talks about loving the dark, loving the earth, taking the time to live. Gah, can't we do this more? There is so much goodness in slowness, and deep thought, and extracting ourselves from busyness and distractions.
From the article:
"It is a mistake to fight the cold and the dark. We're not freezing or starving in a cave, so we can enjoy what autumn and winter bring, instead of trying to live in a perpetual climate-controlled fluorescent world with the same day-in, day-out processed, packaged, flown-in food.
"Life is too short to be all daylight. Night is not less; it's more."
this article's from the brits, found here.

Someone else posted this link and I was impressed with the ideas expressed. The older I get, the faster things seem to go - and the more I want to slow them down!
