Cold winter’s nap

This is the time of year when — in some parts of the world — the temperatures drop and the days are short. It’s a time of settling in, of cozying up, and of hibernating.

But maybe built into this surrounding quiet is an opportunity. A prompt to step out, to take risks, to experiment. After all, even the quietest voices can be heard when all else is silent.

Perhaps the season is encouraging us to venture down new creative paths.
