A CYCLE - Seasons

A CYCLE - Seasons

Hello,

This morning, when I realised it was getting cooler and saw wet leaves on the ground and a cloudy sky, I thought that summer was over.

Then I thought, does knowing that winter will come after autumn and that spring and summer will come afterwards create a routine in my life?

Of course not!

Because even though I know what will come, I don't see how it will come. Doesn't each one prepare us for the other?

Is it the same winter and the same summer every year? Are encountered in every aspect of life. Our behaviours, thinking, desire for change, and even our creativity contain cycles we overlook.

Seasons are the same for me. Its cycle is also in my nature.

I felt it this morning. Autumn, for me, is a time of purification and awareness, as in nature. It doesn't matter which months my autumn coincides with, but the content is always the same. It is a time of awareness when I purify myself from the leaves, mentally free myself and say that I should do something new. There is a leaving behind—maybe a little sadness and a minor completion. For me, autumn is the time when I ask myself what "something new" I need.

Then comes winter. Silence, emptiness, time for contemplation. Times when I am alone with my questions. It is a season when I question until I find what I need. How can I reach it? How can I get it? Winter is a time when I ask myself what options I have. I narrow down my choices, look at my resources and go with the most possible. It is a very nourishing period.

When I find the answers and come out of the questions with clarity, it is time to turn from the inside out gradually—the season when I determine the planning and strategy and take action. Spring itself is the place where I step in. The period when I see the flowers blooming with the implementation of my decisions, and I am delighted.

Flowers have blossomed, and fruits have been given. Now, it is time to collect them and even rejoice. The harvest time when I collect the results is now summer for me. It is a fiesta. It is the period when I celebrate the beauties and opportunities offered by the three seasons. Summer is the season when I feel that I exist.

This cycle of four seasons is a cycle that exists in every aspect of my life and that I carefully follow. Most of the time, I question myself: which season was this event for me? And I check whether I behave by that season. Otherwise, I know I cannot be happy and prosperous by wearing a coat in summer and flip-flops in winter.

The change transitions and the previous one must prepare us for the next one.

We cannot live in 4 seasons by staying only in summer. Success and happiness are not only in summer.

How are your seasonal cycles? I would be curious:-)
