January is quite different from the other months. It can feel a bit, well, empty and echoey—at least at first. If our December was busy, then January can feel like a letdown by comparison. We kind of need to “gear down” or grow accustomed to a quieter volume setting. Knowing that January is often a long cold month where I live, I find it helpful to remind myself in advance that it’s okay to slow down and take quiet walks in the snow. Once I slow down, then I’m much more present and “dialled in” to hear and see the tiniest of flutters of joy. Teeny bird and mouse (vole?) footprints on top of the snow. The poetic image of red berries against dark bare branches. The ephemeral days of “sticky snow” for building snow people.

January is also Tamil Heritage Month. International HolocausT Remembrance Day. Guru Gobind Singh Gurpurab. National Day of Remembrance of the Québec City Mosque Attack and Action against Islamophobia. Orthodox Christmas. Dry January. Veganuary. Surely we’ll find meaning, hope, and repair from conversations about all of these special observances.
