Winter's wisdom: In the heart of darkness, there is a light

Let us beat a hasty retreat. Jump into a hole, down to a cozy warren, deep below the surface.

That's where the wisdom of winter resides: below the surface. It is there in the warm lair where we hibernate and lay low until it's safe to come out.

But in that dark space where our body, minds and soul retreat this time of year, a light still burns bright.

I also write a parenting advice column called Go Ask Your Dad.
