Shifting Seasons

A surprisingly warm spring has transitioned into a blistering summer. The flower’s petticoat has dried out and fallen, the grass hurts your feet to walk on and the air is rigid with humidity that aches your head. From raindrop coated windows to shadow covered skies we now lie in the pit of summer, where everything is seeming to die. Drought covers the landscapes and hisses from the skies, wreaking of stale transformation. We have summers like these in order to be excited again for the cold and maybe we need that.

The autumn will soon embrace us again with its poetic kiss, with silver swirling within the air and leaves full of colour.

With lip trembling winters, full of crunched snow beneath our feet and storms that beckon and call out for miles, we begin to pray that the spring season will exchange herself with winter once again, back in the ever changing pattern.

With so much change in our environment every year we eb and flow with her ways. Some months feel like years and some months feel like days and sometimes this pressure is deafening.

It deafens the senses when we need them most, it deafens the world to us as we know it, it deafens our relationships and our magic.

The world can be beautiful and the world can be mad and the seasons present all sides, good and bad. Shifting into new seasons can be difficult, every season we have to learn new ways to adjust. Adjust to new sense, adjust to new views, adjust to new temperatures and adjust to changes that are coming and going.

So, if you don’t enjoy the summer’s dry laugh then the winter is coming. And if you don’t enjoy the Winter then embrace every side of the summer. We can go through life always looking back and forward, forward and back, but there’s good and bad to everything, including you and I. So embrace anything and everything of your time right now. Or don’t. It’ll happen either way.
