Awareness of the outside world. “Unlike other mammals, reindeer can see light in the ultraviolet spectrum.” AP News: Reindeer are famous for pulling Santa’s sleigh, but there’s a characteristic that sets them apart, Ramer, December 22, 2023

The liminal season is coming.
The light is coming.
The cold is coming.
(If your light is decreasing and your heat increasing, come back in six months.)
A time to lie fallow.
A time to retreat.
A time to peer into the corners and see what peers back.
Look as the reindeer look. It is hidden or do we simply not see?
Look to the others who share the dark.
Look into the shadows.
Onwards!

Makes sense for a Frozen North school to be interested in reindeer.
“A time to peer into the corners and see what peers back.” I may accept that as an assignment.
Be interested to hear what you find, should you wish to share.
