You begin to see that there are seasons in your life, in the same way as there as seasons in nature.
They weave into one another as day follows night, bringing, not messages of hope and fear,
but messages of how things are.

Certainly Karl, in my older self, I relate more to the seasonal changes in my life and how things are. It was in my Spring and Summer time where many of my hope and fear reside. Thanks for sharing.
