In
Spring
Not many things fill us with more enthusiasm and sustained energy than the renewal of the seasonal cycle. Spring is about waking up after a long slumber.. Spring is about finally springing into action. Spring is about vowing ourselves again to this enterprise called life. Spring is about all of us coming together again, towards making the most of celebrating the truly blessed gift of our transient existence.
It is time to listen to the sounds of Nature again and follow its rhythm into the joy expressed by everything around us.
Can you hear the birds’ trills?
We’re celebrating Life again, by each and every decision we make, should we faithfully choose to continue believing with all our might in our battered soul’s relentless journey into the depths of each vibration.
” I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.”
William Wordsworth (written in A.D.
Let us be quiet no more! Let us transform our thoughts into determined steps! Lonely or in companionship, let us wander in search of daffodils and crocus in the wild! Let us explore the vast expansions of our potential and signal to the wind that we are ready! We must begin again.

Summer
It is so nice and warm. ‘Finally!’, some might say. Maybe it is a bit too warm in some places, but truth be told, we all love it, do we not? Some people live for the summer, eagerly awaiting all year long as if there were no other seasons in the cycle. Most certainly, there is no other time when we feel more imbued with boundless energy and the permeating desire to make the most of daylight. Nature supplies us with an unexpected amount of zest for life. ‘We need to do that, and that! We need to finally get on with the other thing, too!’ Life abounds in all its glory. We need to do everything NOW, unless… the summer is the peak of the year only because holidays are the goals of the highest order.
One way or another, Nature calls and truly embraces us at this time of the year. The green of meadows and forests, the songs of birds and all other sounds of excitement issued by the animal kingdoms are truly life-affirming and the gratitude we might, and perhaps should feel, rises to levels only met by our most lively part of our imagination. We only need to keep cool, so we would stay warm. The heart exults again, each time like never before, and the lessons from all the creatures – great or small – are bestowed upon us with the intensity that only the most warming season of the year can generate. Perhaps we need to keep learning, even in such times of extreme productive or only leisurely activity. We are experiencing much ado about nothing more than the thrill of being alive to work or rest. Let that be heard and abided by! Let us be less quiet than before, so we would speak more clearly! Let us remember why the freedom of expression is born from feeling truly alive and faithful to ourselves and what we stand for!
There is no other time when we have the chance be feeling truly alive; again and again, until there is enough warmth in our hearts to make us glow even in the middle of the harshest winters. Our Heart’s rejoicing. We’re gaining serious ground on our way to reaching our full potential. The best is happening, but even more is yet to come. We must grow stronger and more determined than ever. Soon enough we will reap rewards of efforts sometimes too heavy to bear anymore. Never give up! We’re getting closer now. The best is truly happening. Let’s turn it all into reality, even if it all were… just a summer dream! We ”rise and rise again, until lambs become lions.”
Keep Learning
In
Autumn
The legends we create bear fruit.
Nature embraces us in the autumn, too.
We only need to keep warm, so we would stay cool. Perhaps we need to be quiet, so we would hear more clearly. Let us remember why rest is needed for a new beginning. The seasons speak the Language of the World. Our Heart is pensive. We will be ready. We must continue.
In
Winter
We all find comfort in the proverbial image of a log cabin, whose main attraction is the fireplace. As the Earth’s rotation and revolution takes us farther away the sun, it is so cold… in winter, but not inside a cosy room filled with the aroma of a fresh cup of tea just waiting for us by an open book. We look out the window and, yet, regardless of freezing temperatures, Nature is still quite inviting. It is irresistible in its serenity and the allure of enjoying the sound of silence makes us feel compelled to observe the wonders of a hibernating landscape. The rest is up to our imagination. At a much slower pace, we revisit our childhood or plan for the future. Either way, we cannot help smiling. Our entire being lands on a soft surface of comforting thoughts. Nature embraces us in the winter, too.
We only need to keep warm, so we would stay cool. Perhaps we need to be quiet, so we would hear more clearly. Let us remember why rest is needed for a new beginning. The seasons speak the Language of the World. Our Heart is pensive. We will be ready. We must continue.
