watching the tree change and being there for all it’s subtle stages of browning and blooming is a beautiful experience that can yield great appreciation and joy. i believe that spending time in nature when the seasons are changing can provide much comfort and relief to seasonal depression and other feelings that come when the days grow dark and cold.
hope and yearning are two very different things and while yearning can be natural at times it’s not gotten me places or offered solutions like hope has. hope is optimistic, hope believes in possibilities.
