Need a reason...to love only one season

“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

  15. That Thoreau quote is very thought provoking... and you did a great job of illustrating it's implied truth: that each season holds beauty of its own to appreciate. But I do tend to choose... it is Autumn!

  25. What a beautiful combination your art and words.....

    Great words too from Yoko Ono

    I think I would choose Spring because everything is so fresh and colourful especially so after winter. Spring seems a very optimistic time to me.

    From the words of Thoreau to the art and to your personal sentiments; all are a part of my life I luv to live. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous art and prose with us and the beautiful touch at the end with Yoko's prose, she too is her own artist!
