Name the scene
First name not fate, but the living situation: where I am, what pulls, what asks for attention.
winter, bark, shelter
Wintering plan
When the wise move is preservation, not acceleration.
When it fits
- ✦ energy is low
- ✦ the season asks for maintenance
- ✦ growth would be forced
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 a form of activity.
Snow: not all pauses are failures.
Stored seed: keep what can wake later.
