Sing the song of the seasons!
Something bright in everything!
(Robert Louis Stevenson)
As the year is divided into four natural parts – Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter – it is good for us to live a “seasonal” life. Nowadays many of us are cut off from any significant contact with nature and its recurring periods, and if we are not careful, we will fall into the habit of doing the same thing all the time, all twelve months of the year. But just as nature does a different thing in spring than in autumn, we need to make changes in the patterns of our lives. Our human years need to be characterized by seasons, so that we can enjoy some rhythm and variety.
For starters, it will help us regain our appreciation for the natural seasons. The qualities that distinguish the four seasons are truly refreshing. However, even if we pay attention to these qualities, it is often only to complain: if it is hot or cold, dry or rainy, we speak as if these variations were undesirable. But they are not to be regretted or complained about; They are changes that can give structure, pattern and texture to our lives. we need to Taste The seasons – every single one of them – more consciously and appreciatively.
If seen as a whole, our life falls into seasons. There is the spring of youth, the summer of early adulthood, the fall of late adulthood, and the winter of old age. All of these present special opportunities and challenges. Each should be enjoyed and used wisely.
But young or old, it is good to observe the natural seasons each year, enjoying them and gratefully adapting to their variations. If we live a summer-like life in summers, winter-like life in winters and so on, we will not only enjoy life but also become more productive in our meaningful activities. Honoring the seasons is a great way to get the most from all aspects of life.
Today, it’s good to be reminded that spring is the season of “firsts”, a time of new beginnings and growth. As greenery begins to emerge from the mist of winter, who can help but be reminded of the opportunity it affords us to renew our commitment to life? So whatever good thing you can start – or renew – today, let’s do it. stay Into you!
“Those of us who know anything worth knowing know in our hearts that a new year begins in March, and if we make plans for a new leaf, it will be when the rest of Nature is making plans for them too” (Joseph Wood Crutch).
