The Seasons of Grief
The more I see of nature, the more I think of the similarity to our human life, feelings and being in love. When I think of how I have loved, I think of the seasons of grief…
Spring = Love blossoms from a seed of friendship or attraction….it is fresh, uplifting and has a sense of total newness. Your days are bright, your days are full of energy…full of hope
Summer = Love is warm, it burns your soul….you want it to last forever and the heat of the passion starts to be replaced by a deeper friendship….you feel that your love like the daylight hours will go on forever…
Autumn = Love starts to slip away, like the leaves shedding from an oak….no matter how much you don’t want the leaves to fall….they change colour, they fall, they die…as nature continues its circle of life.
Winter = The cold, the starkness overtakes as grief consumes your heart. The beauty seems to have disappeared from the world, until you learn to see the beauty in the circle of life. That as dark the days 
seem to be, no matter how cold your world seems to be, no matter how long the days need to be…there is always spring to look forward to…because as day follows night…spring follows winter… humans will find the way to love again.

I always find it amazing how we always fall in love and have summer romances. Have you ever notuced that the guys, if they are going to break up with a girl, they do it right before Christmas?

Lol…or just before your birthday or just after theirs!!
Seriously I think the dark nights have something to do with it…people lose that sunshine and feel down…they seem to want to spring clean their lives looking for that elusive happiness….
