"pivot to living with optimism and freedom whenever it’s possible"
Beautifully expressed by Wendy Syfret in an essay, "The Only Two Seasons That Matter Now - We have hibernation time and thriving time. That can be a good thing."
"I believe that the goal right now is to be emotionally nimble, to pivot to living with optimism and freedom whenever it’s possible—because who knows if freak weather or another highly transmissible variant will send us back indoors again. Perhaps we have only two real seasons now—hibernation and thriving—and we need to be ready to toggle between them. If we can master that, then the values we associate with summer are actually available at a moment’s notice."
