Dispatch from the Wild Interior: October 6, 2020

The Hermit: Saving wisdom is rarely found by journeying only to the warm and lovely portions of the interior world. Go where it’s cold, where the trees stand stripped to branch and bark and trunk. Ask your winters what you left there. What knowledge sleeps under the snow, how it can ready you for the season that approaches. Is the sky on fire, or is it the sun, our favorite star, yellowing the horizon? From inside, we learn how to see. From inside, how to discern ghost from snow, snake from rope, love from lie.
