“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places – and there are so many – where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act . . . “

Howard Zinn, quoted in Ecology Action Newsletter, August, 2011

Rest the Solstice and Kapha Time

December 13, 2024

What do rest the Solstice and Kapha time have to do with one another? As I head toward the bottom of the year, I can feel the drag of the shortest day approaching, the urge to hibernate, to rest.
