The Wisdom of the Threshold: Embracing January's Sacred Pause

🔥

Sometimes a piece of writing doesn't just catch your eye—it resonates in your bones. That's exactly how I felt reading

's deep and beautiful reflection on January.

She frames this month not as a launchpad, but as a sacred threshold, drawing on the myth of Janus, the Roman guardian of doorways who looks both backward and forward. January, she suggests, is the "month between worlds," a time when nature whispers *rest* while the calendar shouts *go*.

Her writing invites us to reconsider our relationship with time, goals, and the very pace of our lives. It’s a permission slip to see stillness not as idleness, but as a necessary "frozen lake" phase where things ripen beneath the surface.

If you've felt any tension between the urge to set resolutions and the body's need for winter quiet, her words will feel like a balm and a revelation.

I encourage you to read her full, beautiful reflection here:

After you read it, I'd love to hear your thoughts on one of her gentle questions:

What helps you endure phases without clear direction, without trying to resolve them immediately?

Wishing you a peaceful and insightful January. 🕰️🍃
