I haven’t heard of this concept before but I really like it. I have a few favourite trees and flowers in my garden and it feels like they only bloom for a week or two at most. So even in a relatively small space I can see the microseasons at work and am learning to appreciate the rhythm of nature in my garden.
It’s one of those ideas that once you start looking for tiny changes, you’ll start to see them everywhere. I notice microseasonal changes at the farmer’s market, around my town, in my own energy levels, etc. I hope this idea brings you joy every day. Thanks for reading!🌿
Absolutely love this and am here for it! I'd heard of this before but really lovely to take a closer look and learn more. You might also enjoy my perspective, I write about similar topics.
I am new to your substack and to the concept of microseasons, and I love this so much! The Japanese names of the microseasons are lovely--reading through them is like reading a poem of the year. Perhaps some day I will know my own place well enough to write a similar poem. An inspiring thought!
I have enjoyed exploring your archives, and I am delighted and inspired to have discovered your work. Thank you so much for sharing!
What a lovely compliment! When I read some of your writings, Jenna, I was touched by your sensitivity and enjoyment of your natural home area. I’m sure you’ll start seeing microseasonal changes all the time now. So much truth in this ancient framework— once you learn about it, you can’t help but notice the nuances and gifts of the tiny seasons. Thank you for your thoughtful reading.🌿
Beautiful! I'm new here to Substack. I enjoy capturing moments of connection in nature and everyday life - because I find that, even when I'm looking at a scene I've seen a thousand times, there's always something new to discover! Thanks for sharing the Microseasons concept, it's absolutely lovely.
I love this! In The Bahamas, I’ve long advocated our different set of seasons (Mango Season, Avocado Season, Lobster Season, Royal Poinciana Season & more). I adore how this encourages noticing even more seasons and closer attention to nature’s amazing rhythms. Thank you for sharing this! 🙏🏼✨🌺
I'm honored, Sara. Let's walk and add things to your gratitude list. I am grateful for potters like you today, as I sip my afternoon tea from a beautiful handmade mug. ☕️ Welcome!🌿
Such a fascinating idea, thank you for introducing it to me! It seems like a lovely way of experiencing the world and a reminder to take pleasure in even the smallest moments. I've shared your writings with my readers in my latest Sunday post.
Jodie, thank you for taking the care to share this ancient idea. It makes me so happy to see the way beauty and awe are available to all of us on an "ordinary" day.
This is such a cool concept! I'm really enjoying your journey! I love how you see the world :)
Thank you for walking along with me, Graeme! This will be a joyful year-- I'm excited to see all the tiny seasons with kind readers like you :)

Love this invitation to a more detailed view of nature cycle ❤️
I love time rhythms but I'm not good at them. This subtle walk is very alluring!

Loved all these details Ann. Amazing concept.

It's a pleasure, I know it'll resonate with my readers! I think cultivating awe in our days makes them so much more memorable.
I don't know how I got here, but I'm looking forward to catching up on the journey. The concept of micro seasons reminds me a bit of phenology.
These concepts definitely overlap. I’d love to learn more about phenology—welcome Melissa!
