Seasons

    When at work, we are expected to ignore the seasons’ fluctuations, in case it affects our productivity. And during our leisure, we are meant to hanker after summer sunshine and hunt it down. We have lost our connection to the cycles of nature. We no longer enjoy the intimacy that our ancestors had with the earth, when life followed the rhythm of the seasons; when there was a time to reap and to sow, to nurture and to rest. We have condemned as pagan the ancient rituals celebrating the solstices and equinoxes, forgetting how we used to integrate the seasons with life’s grand themes of fertility and birth, abundance and death.
