Project 12 Topic: Seasons (by Stacy Julian)

Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence.

Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance.

Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence.

Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance."

~Yoko Ono

I love Yoko’s words about seasons because they seem to invite both a literal and a figurative exploration of what seasons are and what they stand for. Regardless of your geographic location or the weather patterns you’re accustomed to, seasons exist and they offer a lens through which we can view our life and our stories. The most universal interpretation of seasons has to do with the four sub divisions of the calendar year—which seem to always inspire photographs, but there are seasons for sports and activities (like soccer and fishing) as well as seasons of rejoicing or mourning, healing or health. Take the opportunities you have moving forward to celebrate all kinds of seasons!
