Today, I recite today's newest essay publication on Kinward.

I argue that modern comfort masks a dangerous illusion of control, and that homesteading—at any scale—reconnects us to seasons, duty and reverence. Winter’s demands humble us, sharpen our senses, and open a path to grateful, grounded living.

• winter as the great humbler
• the illusion of control in modern systems
• mangoes in January and the cost of convenience
• heat on demand versus earned warmth
• using technology without losing roots
• reverence, fear and the question of a creator
• homesteading as an end to complacency
• practical accountability to seasons and place
