HTML:<b>THE RUNAWAY <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER - AS HEARD ON NPR <i>MORNING EDITION</i> AND <i>ON BEING</i> WITH KRISTA TIPPETT<br /> “Katherine May opens up exactly what I and so many need to hear but haven't known how to name.” —Krista Tippett, <i>On Being</i><br /> “Every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself. . . . This is truly a beautiful book.” —Elizabeth Gilbert  <br /> "Proves that there is grace in letting go, stepping back and giving yourself time to repair in the dark...May is a clear-eyed observer and her language is steady, honest and accurate—capturing the sense, the beauty and the latent power of our resting landscapes." <i>—Wall Street Journal</i><br /> From the bestselling author of the <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>Enchantment: Awakening Wonder in an Anxious Age</i>, this is an intimate, revelatory exploration of the ways we can care for and repair ourselves when life knocks us down.<br /></b><br /> 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. <i>Wintering</i> explores how she not only endured this painful time, but embraced the singular opportunities it offered.<br /> 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.<br /> Ultimately <i>Wintering</i> 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.
