The seasons have always fascinated me- the repetition of Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter- always changing yet always the same.  I like this quote:

“Every truth is fragile, every knowledge must be learned over and over again, every night, that we grow not in a straight line but in ascending and descending circles and that what gives us power one year robs us of power the next, for nothing is settled, ever, for anyone.   What makes this bearable is awe.”
