The Seasons...

This morning was unusually foggy in Chennai. I smirked that it was smog!! An Older colleague commented that the sun was white this morning and it signified that hot days are here to come and to stay on for many months to come!!
Just yesterday I had a rejuvenating conversation with my son on seasons and humankind.
Winter is the ideal time to relax, laze in bed and do nothing. Time to repair your body, mind and soul. Time to think, ruminate and meditate !
Spring - time to spring up to put those thoughts and ideas into action . Time to work, work, work!
Summer- time to reach the peak of your project or work on personal and professional front.
Autumn- time to stand back and look what has been done. Do the trimmings . Slow down.
Winter- time to break/ contemplate..

Ah if we could work in this cycle of motion....
It also reminds me of the beautiful poem ," The Human Seasons" by John Keats-
Four Seasons fill the measure of the year;
There are four seasons in the mind of man:
He has his lusty Spring, when fancy clear
Takes in all beauty with an easy span:
He has his Summer, when luxuriously
Spring's honied cud of youthful thought he loves
To ruminate, and by such dreaming high
Is nearest unto heaven: quiet coves
His soul has in its Autumn, when his wings
He furleth close; contented so to look
On mists in idleness--to let fair things
Pass by unheeded as a threshold brook.
He has his Winter too of pale misfeature,
Or else he would forego his mortal nature.
