With the summer solstice approaching and a series of comments on Dr. Dave’s blog I’ve been thinking about seasons. Of course spring, summer, autumn and winter are rational and natural, but why not some other more personal seasons?
I made up a few of my own seasonal sets today. Two are on an annual rotation, the other describes a shorter and more irregular cycle. What seasons can you find in your life?
Creative Seasons
fuss
groove
blank
input
rumination
Garden Seasons
hopeful plans
freshly planted
overgrown
overwatered
wilted
brown
Seasons of Feet
new blisters
soggy shoes
itchy toes
painted toenails
callous formation
extra socks
Garden seasons: a short, infrequent season that can go one of two ways, either
new plant
dead plant
or
new plant
wild, self sufficient plant
University season:(repeats twice a year)
whats going on?
this is interesting
i still have time
holy shit, everything is due tomorrow
Emotional seasons:
the emotional year starts in mid Jan with a period of Indigo Girls/Alanis Morissette that lasts a month or two, then moves into a Buddha Bar/Beastie Boys/Jack Johnson kinda blend for the rest of the year, with a few Faithless breezes here and there
Financial seasons: sometimes these can last for a month, sometimes they take a week to go thru, but its always the same cycle
bliss
concern
misery
