Name the scene
First name not fate, but the living situation: where I am, what pulls, what asks for attention.
winter, bark, waiting
Weather the season
When nothing seems to grow, but strength is being conserved inside.
When it fits
- ✦ a pause has stretched
- ✦ the process should not be broken
- ✦ it matters to tell waiting from stagnation
Not for this
- ✧ replacing facts, medical, legal, or financial advice
- ✧ compulsively repeating the same question
- ✧ reading someone else's life without boundaries
Key images
Bark: protection is not always visible.
Rings: time leaves structure.
Bud: life can be small.
