"Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each."              Henry David Thoreau

​Different groups and cultures observe and celebrate the passage of seasons in their own way.  Winter, spring, summer, fall – each manifest itself in unique, climatic fashion and mood.  Others simplify it to the duality of meteorological consequences – rainy season versus dry season, or significant ecological events – hurricane season, harvest season, forest fire season. Religious groups base their seasonal calendar on liturgical events.  Astrologers recognize the characteristics and influences of celestial signs and seasons.  Humanists cite the stages or seasons of the
​life cycle – birth through old age.  

"Every season has a reason.  Summer cannot do the works of winter, nor winter the works of summer.  Each season is unique yet so important, so cherish the seasons in your life."           Gugu Mona

"Often when you think you’re at the end of something, you’re at the beginning of something else."
