In the northern hemisphere we await the winter solstice and the holidays. Change is in the air as we close out the calendar year, at times wondering where the time went. It’s a time of reflection for many. We relate to time in many ways: change, growth, and decay — within ourselves and the natural world. Laura says she’s intrigued by the idea that time is a river. This episode is dedicated to just that: Time, Rivers, & Time as a River.
