The Human Seasons: A Poem by John Keats

The Human Seasons

John Keats

Four Seasons fill the measure of the year;

     There are four seasons in the mind of man:

He has his lusty Spring, when fancy clear

     Takes in all beauty with an easy span:

He has his Summer, when luxuriously

     Spring’s honied cud of youthful thought he loves

To ruminate, and by such dreaming high

     Is nearest unto heaven: quiet coves

His soul has in its Autumn, when his wings

     He furleth close; contented so to look

On mists in idleness—to let fair things

     Pass by unheeded as a threshold brook.

He has his Winter too of pale misfeature,

Or else he would forego his mortal nature.

Something to Think About

Fall is in full swing in the northern hemisphere. Leaves are falling. The temperatures are dropping. The squirrels are gathering nuts. These are all signs that fall is here and winter is not far away. The seasons change. They don’t fight change. It is nature’s way. We can take lessons from nature. When change is inevitable, why fight it, adapt to it, make the best of it. Turn the change into something beautiful. Like each season, which has it’s own special beauty, we can make each season of our lives beautiful and let it shine brightly. C’mon, you can do it.

I enjoy the fall. The scorching hot temperature in south Texas back off and give way to long mild fall. Fall give an opportunity to watch football with a bowl of popcorn keeping me company. When we take time to enjoy the small diversions in life like a football game or popcorn we let go of life’s stresses for a few minutes. It’s important to our mental health to let go of work  and staying connected through digital media. I hope you find time to let all else go for a few moments to enjoy a gentle diversion. 

Today’s Good Word ~ Shake it Off

We all get hurt. We all get betrayed somewhere along the line. We all stumble and fall. What choice do we have but to shake it off, rise, and get going again. There’s no benefit in RSVPing to a pity party. Few people will attend and those that do will only take you further down the dark tunnel. Shake it off, rise, and get going again. Life will grab hold of you. You will feel the healing powers of life seeping into your body and mind. Life will once again be good.
