Strategic Retreat

 

Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May is certainly a book we all need.  All of us experience difficult times in life, and the necessity to retreat into ourselves when we take a savage blow is, in many instances, probably the only path to take.  Our society demands outward forms of expression and behavior all the time.  This book gives us ‘permission’ to retreat, reflect, and lick our wounds.  I'm all for it and do it all the time.
