i truly love the cycle of seasons. i grew up in the los angeles area, and i must say there are only about two seasons there: hot and dry, and cooler with occasional moisture. now i live in southern oregon and get to experience four legitimate seasons.

as a matter of fact, for the last few years the changing of the seasons have been like clockwork, with rain the first day of fall, snow down to 2000 feet within the first week of winter, beautiful temperate dry weather in the first week of spring, and a snap of hot clear blue sky as soon as summer rolls around. of course, we have a lot of people in this area who are conscious and awakening, who attend to such things as the weather and the seasons. in my understanding of consciousness (you know, the stuff everything is made of!) the awareness and attention of people upon the seasons, the moon, the natural cycles, will create a resonance, and can indeed create an effect in the weather. be that part of the truth here or not, we have beautiful weather here in southern oregon.

i love the flow of the seasons in spiritual and conceptual terms as well. the spring rises like the morning sun, that which has been gestating breaks forth into the awareness. the summer with sun at zenith. the peak of production and fullness, the height of the solar season. the fall, like the setting sun, always with a promise of renewal. and the winter, the night, the sun at its minimum. east, south, north, and west. air, fire, water, and earth.

i must point out then, in this love of the seasons, that here in "america" (whatever that means this day of all days) we are only half way through fall. winter is quite a ways off yet.

the difference to me? fall is the death of things, the "fall". it is the withdrawing of energy into stasis. this is what people commonly think and feel about winter: it is a dead time with nothing occurring. but winter is in actuality a wonderfully formative time. it is the time of the crystallization of those thoughts and intents that will take form in emergence in the spring. in that sense, it is perhaps the most important time of the year to be attentive to intention.

winter is a wonderful time indeed. i look forward to it.
