Daylight is added, about three minutes more every day as March progresses, gives or takes. Tomorrow, we bandaged a full hour at a time: change your clocks, change your smoke detector batteries, let’s start to plan menus around tender lettuces. Spring has not yet arrived, but his plane has definitely left the ground.
I call this time of year the great thaw, or sometimes the big helmet. Despite the comfortable winter associations with the holiday rally, with cocoa cups appreciated before the flamboyant hearth, he always feels as a period of contraction, hoarding. We butthered ourselves and we zips in ourselves and pass quickly each other. We sleep more and default inside. The days always end again.
When the light comes back, something bothers me, and I like to imagine that it does it in each of us, although I know better than to attribute my own desire for the hottest months to the confusing characters who prefer the cold. “The day’s reduction time begins.” This entrance on the calendar is always read as a triumphant return, a welcome. We tried this “standard time” thing all winter, tried to be measured and responsible for the way we spent our time, and now exhale, it’s over. Now we will relax. Now we will stop being so retained and rigid with our time, with our presence, with our imagination. Now, a perfectly good plan on Saturday is just to meet outside and see what is developing. The rarity season is coming to an end and now we will do without abandonment.
Whether or not you feel a kind of interior unleashing that takes place at this time of year, opening is an attractive perspective, isn’t it? If there is a tension between the seasons – fall and the contraction of winter against the expansion of spring and summer – then there is a similar tension in us. Be shy against living aloud. Rushing on the cold vs persistent. Play safely against risking it. We keep small and content vs letting all our splendor lose. Sometimes we need incentives to be our largest self, an invitation to open.
Leave the beginning of tomorrow longer and brighter to serve as this invitation. Why not? We change the one hour clocks, making this deliberate passage from darkness to light in our external worlds. How can we also do it internally? How are we going to meet this unofficial beginning of half the lighter and more loose of the year? How are we going to thaw, unclog, let go?

🎬 “Mickey 17” (Out now): The last effort of the director of the Oscar -winning “parasite”, Bong Joon Ho, presents Robert Pattinson in the role of Mickey, an unhappy man working on a spacecraft as “consumable” – an experimental guinea pig who is repeatedly killed and renovated in the name of expedition research. Our criticism of Manohla Dargis calls him “a film that flickering near apocalyptic despair”, but also which “lifts you in the sky”.
