Loved to read this! Yes, we need seasons, also to truly appreciate the sun when it’s out or the first of the winter storms.

Thanks, Helen. I love how you expore the contrast between grey seasons and sudden light, and how moments of beauty can nourish creativity and perspective.

Thanks Gabriela. It was a way of finding some sustenance and meaning in the grey days of late winter. I reminded myself that it can't be bright and sunny all the time and that I would quickly tire of that!

Always love your thoughtful posts, Helen. Thank you for sharing. (And beautiful photo of you in the sunshine! Doesn't it feel amazing on a cold day?).

I'm in the midst of a long and hot summer, and longing for the cooler, softer days of Autumn, but, yes, we need all the seasons to appreciate the differences in light and shade and energy they bring.
