Each time I step outside in the crisp Colorado winter, a creeping, recurring, intimate feeling hits me: that the cold is good for my primal self. The cold is grounding. Its humbling. While it can be immensely powerful and certainly should not be underestimated, it is a subtle reminder that we are much tougher than we make ourselves out to be. History has shown us, countless times before, that humans endure. For, when the entire earth was affected by a 536 A.D. volcanic eruption that caused ZERO sunlight for years, we survived. We humans became tougher. Sure, many died of famine and illness, but the tough survived because there was no other choice.
