Spring — Gather myself. Feel expansive, then, as the season progresses, on top of the world. Projects. Goals. Launch the rocket, start the train. Acceleration. Abandon.
Summer — Pick up a passenger. Fleeting days, meaningful nights. Cacophony. Melee. In the midst of it all, momentum slows.
Fall — Hang on until the bitter end. Pull into the station, haltingly, but sure. Achievement. Arrival.
Winter — Realize the passenger is either bad for me or bad in general. Leave them behind. Suffer some. With no destination ahead, anomie. Wreckage.

The river flows, the wheel spins, the clock turns. A season, a season, a season, a season.
Late winter / early spring now.
Let’s do it all again.

(It’s taken me a lifetime to learn that. Still learning it.)

So yeah, did not “let it go.”

I must be crazy. Let’s find out!
