The Change of Season

Change is good.  Is gives a break from monotony.  It gives you hope of something better.  Which is why I like living on the East Coast, where the change of season is dramatic.  I like the fact that you can look forward to the relief from Summer's heat that Fall and Winter bring.  And then again, when you begin to tire of Winter's icy teeth, you get to fantasize about Spring and Summer.  You get to look forward to having to wear a jacket and then a coat, and then getting to throw both off in favor of short sleeves.

By balancing two opposites against each other, you notice the positives in each.  And I guess I like the cyclical nature of the whole thing.  One vast wheel turning infinitely from one extreme to the other, completely ignorant of and indifferent to our little human dramas.

It's comforting to know that we're not that important.
