To begin with, the green season was winter and the dead season was summer, instead of the other way around. I was keenly aware of the changes in the sky, as I was an avid stargazer, so that had to suffice. Moving to Michigan put me in a place where there were the four traditional seasons, although the joke about this state is that the four seasons are really almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction. I tell that one, and it always gets a laugh.Pinku-Senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247618351725715844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752611264465083204.post-87593425147670645912014-09-24T17:19:08.562-04:002014-09-24T17:19:08.562-04:00I celebrate the four corners druid style.

I missed the summer solstice because I was incapacitated with pneumonia and kind of forgot.<br /><br />Just checked and sure enough my day is still four minutes longer than night.<br /><br />In Seattle: Sunrise Today: 6:59 AM - Sunset Today: 7:03 PM<br /><br />Doing this has made me more aware of how the seasons change and in a small way returns me to a more natural and comfortable awareness of the world around me. Once paying attention to how the seasons of the year change was normal.k-doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788296863763985663noreply@blogger.com
