  1. You’re SO right! Hibernation is pretty phenomenal when you think about it. Thanks for making me think about it! :)

    1. Now that I’ve thought about it some more (thanks to you and this post!), it also strikes me as a particularly satisfying way to diet..

      I try to imagine that I get to just have a fun time eating non-stop bacon and nutella for a few months, and realize that I put on a few pounds.. then, rather than going to the gym, or eating only leafy greens, I lay down for 6 months, and wake up skinny!

      Man, bears have it good..

  2. Its the only thing I have thought about for the last 2 weeks. If only I were a bear….. Thanks for making me feel less like a weirdo. lol

  3. In the books, “The Circle of Stones”, by Judith Duerk and “Iron John”, by Robert Bly, humans do sort of hibernate in winter.
    Those attuned to this, start to feel the hunger and need, mid August.
    Ever notice your physical craving’s in autumn? Watch the animals behaviors and plants in nature changing, to see how cold or long winter may be? Touch the earth so the earth can touch you. When you stop to do so, you grow abilities to listen to your insight and knowing’s! You connect with personal needs; discover what is best for you, for restoration and rejuvination…to nurture and protect the spirit within! It’s a time for building primal goodness and YOU are prepared for, “THE REST!”

  5. Fall and cooler weather signifies dating season! Sooo glad I didn’t cancel either of next week’s hot dates when it warmed up for like 7 minutes on the weekend. Let the bears sleep all through winter. I for one plan on making this the hottest winter on record! (personal record, of course) :)
