“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.”
Now to choose a season ...(...or how to choose a favorite season ??)
Winters ...season of mist
a hot cup of adrak ki chai (ginger tea)
warm peanuts with shells
carrot halwa
hot soups
cozy blankets
warm mom made sweaters
Summers ...all sunny and bright
chilled lemonade
Juicy red watermelons
ripe sweet mangoes
white cotton dresses
shorbets
drippy ice cream cones
a book in hand under a shady tree
Autumn...fall
change in the scenery around
light breeze
cinnamon scents
crunchy leaves
festivities
Spring...celebrations
colors
buds and blossoms
fresh green grass
chirping birds
wind chimes
rainbows
Aahh ... so much to live for...and the list is not exhaustive ....
Can you choose one...yes only one on the list ...well I can't !
“Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence.
Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance.
Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence.
Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.”
― Yoko Ono
