the in-between days

Ra, Doug and Batman, walking on the beach near Green Harbor, MA. It was foggy on Boxing Day.

One of my very favorite places.

Anna Brones recently wrote about the Swedish word mellandagarna, the in-between days, describing the days between the winter solstice through the new year. Her piece on Substack, The Midwinter Season of Creativity is just lovely. Many thoughtful people have written about taking a break from the rush at this time of year…even pausing the urge to step enthusiastically into the new year.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Dearest friends, I hope the next few days offer you time to pause, to relax and to breathe into the present moment. It’s the best place to be. xo
