“Winter is often misunderstood as a time of death. In reality, it is the season of necessary rest. Without the silence of winter, the bloom of spring has no foundation.” — Dalia Latife
In a profound conversation with Fran Caudron, the author and award-winning photographer Dalia Latife shared how her “trio of loss” (the passing of her mother, the global pandemic, and her sudden job loss) forced her into a “gentle turning” that changed how she looked at life.
Dalia, the author of The Quiet Cure and The Gentle Turning, has spent the last decade discovering the calendar of the human heart through the lens of the natural world and how seasons of life can be considered through the lens of nature.
This story is a manual for anyone currently sitting in their own “winter,” waiting for the ground to thaw, and wondering why “summer” can’t just stay.
