Hidden Nature

Animal tracks in the morning reveal all the
nighttime goings on.


Basic comforts, but not too much more, make room for intangible comforts.

Four inches of snow outside, stacks of firewood and homemade aquavit inside—winter perfection.

Spices for aquavit:
-coriander
-cumin
-a sprinkle of caraway
-a few seeds of cardamom
-a piece of star anise, for color and ceremony, for a few days only.

Let the rest seep for at least a week, and serve so chilled that it’s syrupy. Very good for inspirational sipping.
