Laity Lodge recently shared a newsletter featuring the ancient Japanese calendar of 72 seasons. Each lasting about 5 days, the 72 mark lived changes with attuned awareness and (as the website details) “the names of each season beautifully depict the tiny, delicate changes in nature that occur around us, year in year out.”
I’ve decided to call this 5-day-season in Austin, TX “The peach tree flowered despite some chill and the xmas lights are still up.”
