Nature, Times And Seasons!

"Time will pass and seasons will come and go."

  - Roy Bean

Nature revolves around time and seasons, and everything that happens in nature does so for a reason. In fact, times and seasons work hand in foot to ensure that everything flows according to nature's order and rhythm, to which we, humans are a part whether we're aware of it or not. No one can comprehend how nature works, nor the mysteries that abound in it. The little knowledge we have about nature, may have come from our experiences and interactions with the natural world around us. Nature made it so for a reason.

Just as we know, time exists for everything under the earth. There's time for the sun to rise, which heralds a new day, and equally time for its setting.

There's also the changing climatic conditions and seasons - winter, summer, autumn etc. Each season, armed with its own unique beauty and challenges come and go in a predictable pattern. They understand that season na turn by turn, lol. Although sometimes, one season can exceed its time due to climate change, it is still nature that made it so, for a reason.

Life too, is time bound. Today, a baby is born and in the course of time, grows into an adult and then ages. Having been privileged to attain old age, it will then be time to answer the call to the great beyond, whenever it comes. When this happens, the chapter of the person's life will be closed.
Judging from human perspective, this is how we hoped for the human life cycle to be but sadly, it is not so. The call to the great beyond cuts across all age brackets - the infants, children, adults and aged. Nature made it so, for a reason.

During the Mass this last Sunday of September, the priest in his homily painted a vivid picture of this. He said that just as children are under the care and control of their parents or guardians today, a time will come when they will grow into adults too. By that time their parents would have aged and will now be under their care and control. This is how nature made but it doesn't happen so always. There are times it takes a different turn, and this is for a reason.

This is a reminder that everything in life is transient, and that we should savor the moment and appreciate the journey as we move through the seasons of life.
Although we are at liberty to journey through life as it pleases us, we should note that;

there's a reason and purpose for being a part of nature's grand design.

We are part of the larger patterns and rhythms of nature and each of us has a unique role to play in life and equally the power to shape our lives and the world around us.
Nature has provided all we need to fulfill these roles, the ball is now in our courts. Play it however you wish, nature will be waiting at the other end.

Thank you for reading.
