Item Description...
For many, winter is a time of postponed activity -- shoveling snow, navigating ice, and trying to keep warm. What can easily be forgotten in winter's cold and occasional dreariness is that it is also a time for shoring up, purity, praise, delight, and play.In thirty stirring pieces, Winter Life delves into the varied feelings that winter conjures in us, calling up both the barrenness and beauty of the natural world in wintertime. Exploring our retreat and hibernation from the world and our ultimate joyful breaking free from icy paralysis, these inspiring writings will help readers express and understand their own personal reaction to wintertime, showing them the way from the cold of winter to the warmth of the human soul. Includes a wide range of classic texts -- from translated Sanskrit and Hebrew poems to Henry David Thoreau and Basho. |

 | Excellent book for winter meditations Dec 5, 2007 |
Winter is my favorite season. I moved from Texas to nothern climates just to enjoy winter as I did in my childhood.
Winter (the book) allows me to revel in Winter (the season). I like how the many different writers bring varying aspects to the topic creating a depth most books lack. Many of the features confronted my notion and beliefs of the season, but after time and reflection, I began to not only see winter in a new way, but I experienced it differently also.
If you like to hibernate for weeks at a time while watching the snow fall, this is a great book to steep you in the season. | | |  | Slow down and smell the snow Apr 22, 2005 |
This is a great collection of works by a diverse range of authors organized by the different aspects of the seasons - renewal, playfulness, isolation. I had first picked this book because it had something from Annie Dillard in it but found a great number of other authors to enjoy in it; actually that has lead to a number of other great book finds - like Indian Creek Chronicles by Pete Fromm which has an excerpt in the book.
Too often the years just fly by - we have a been there, scene that attitude which causes us to just gloss over much of life. This `spiritual biography of the season' invites the reader to slowdown and truly observe what is going on around then. So far this is the only one I have read in the series but certainly plan on similarly enjoying a similar look at the other seasons. | | | Write your own review about Winter: A Spiritual Biography of the Season
