"This too shall pass." Sometimes it's a promise, sometimes it's an elegy. Always it's true ... and the truth of it adds something bittersweet to the practice of keeping our senses and our hearts open. Thank you for sharing your practice with us, Ann.

I'm going to have to get/make a microseason calendar!
We have a lawn mower mown path in the back through our property. Some years the remaining field is left grown, and would be perfect for microseason walks. It is soul filling to walk. I don't walk it often enough.
Oh yes-- by all means do it! It sounds like you have the perfect “laboratory” to observe the small changes of a microseason, to receive them as a gift from a loving and creative God. Contemplative walking is so good for the soul.
Ann, when you write about impermanence, it feels so gentle. After reading your reflection, I feel a calmness inside— that things will be alright. Thank you.
Beautiful post and pictures, Ann! I feel so peaceful when reading your microseason updates!
Thank you, Jason! That's my hope for you and all my readers. I hope your week brings much creative goodness.🌿
