The arrival of summer marks a celebration for New Yorkers as they sense the earth awakening. Unlike animals emerging from hibernation, which represents a complex evolutionary adaptation, humans might struggle with a disconnect between body and mind. The author reflects on how contemporary society encourages disembodiment, prompting individuals to misinterpret their desires and bodily needs. This narrative emphasizes the importance of recognizing and responding to bodily cues just as other creatures do post-hibernation.
Hibernation isn't sleep. It's a mastery of evolution, a collection of advanced adaptations that allow critters to burrow underground for months without food or water.
If you live in bear country, the warm months are signaled by the grumbles and growls of furry beasts emerging from hibernation, not sundress debuts.
