Winter starts today. Go find your scarf.
Start of winter begins the traditional winter. The first cold winds are said to blow.
the north wind starts to blow, my scarf remembers my neck
Today is Ritto, the start of winter in the old Japanese calendar. It is when the first cold north winds are said to start blowing.
Somewhere in your closet, a scarf is starting to remember where your neck is. Your job is to remember where you put it last spring. It's usually in the second place you look.
This is a fresh, warm kind of luck, like steam rising off a bowl of soup. Wrap up before it cools down.
Try this today
- Find your scarf before you need it
- Have a bowl of warm soup
- Think of one thing to look forward to this winter
