The autumn arrives early this year - soon to be here in the
south of Sweden anyway.
Already, the air has changed and it feels clear and clean to breathe. Some trees are starting to turn color, but there's a long way to go before the forests explode in their beautiful autumn colors.
I have always liked the shifts between seasons and I appreciate every season for various reasons.
In spring, it's the same magic every year - nature comes to life.
Summer with all its greenery and flowers is lovely - bright warm evenings to enjoy.
I appreciate the autumn because that is when it's time to retire indoors, to cozy up in the evenings, to walk in the woods and just breathe, to enjoy all the autumn colors and autumn scents.
Winter is beautiful, imagine a real winter with snow and brilliant sunshine - cold but beautiful.
Nature is resting, gathering strength for the next spring.
I think that our seasons are a bit like life itself ...
Spring / youth with everything that wakes up, the amazing energy that never ends.
Summer / adulthood with all its joy and desire to fulfill, create and experience.
The autumn / old age is the time to harvest everything you have accomplished, to live your wisdom with
beauty.
Winter / resting - resting after a long life, gathering strength for the next spring (life) to come...
