Especially in the Northern Hemisphere, we are blessed by the fact that there are four distinct seasons, visually. Spring: the darling buds of May; Summer, the lazy days of play in the sunshine; Autumn, the leaves turn colour and then die; and Winter, all life goes still again.

Human life is similar. We’re born, live, grow old and die, all within the seasons of our lives. Then we are born again, reincarnated into a new life, after resting for a time in the spiritual realms. The Bible calls it resurrection into a new world. But, in reality, it’s just the same old world seen with new eyes..

Enough said, for now.
