Have you read the book “Wintering” by Katherine May? It a beautiful book about hibernating in the fallow times of our lives. These woods are where I draw strength and awe during the darker days.

The face of terrorism in the UK, 2025. Police arrest an 89 year old woman for supporting banned Palestine Action. She was arrested with 473 other protesters in London. The Home Secretary thanked police for keeping our streets safe. Honestly, Im more afraid of my diminishing civil rights to protest.
