Love the “it isn’t sure what to feel” analogy! Imperfectly familiar is also great. Thank you for sharing your gift!

Wonderful. The change is in the air, but not quite. I thought I was a four season guy, but your insight made me think.

Interesting thought about how seasons aren’t usually blunt about their coming and going; instead, there is transition. Transition is also an important part of life, good for our mental and emotional health. Sometimes, I describe my “transitioning” more like spasms, however…

I like Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. I liked it when I lived in Portland, Oregon, seeing the distinctively difference in four season. Where I am is, I don’t know what to make of it, or call of it except thank you for crafting the description.

I’m a fan of Vivaldi too, and the actual four seasons.

I remember reading once that we were not made for this kind of world and that is why we don’t feel comfortable here and long for something else. That explained a lot to me. You have captured that thought beautifully.

Than you, Belle. You may be thinking of C.S. Lewis (who has indeed influenced me). That idea crops up repeatedly in his writings, and he himself extracted from Scripture (see Hebrews 11:14-16). https://mitchteemley.com/2014/09/06/why-i-believe-c-s-lewis-and-me-part-three/
