Recommended: Spring and fall

In the beginning, there were four spirits controlling the seasons of the Earth. The Autumn spirit was the most serene spirit, for he was the only one who attempted to make peace among the others; Winter, Spring, Summer who were all attempting to control all of Earth’s seasons for the whole year. Each and every day, all the spirits, besides Autumn, would fight over dominance of creating their own world. Solutions would have been simple if each spirit could give each spirit control for equal amount of time, but the real problem what yet to be faced..

After several years of constant arguing, Autumn could not deal with it anymore. He decided he would sacrifice himself for peace among the three others. The next day, without telling anyone, Human secretly snuck away. He dedicated a pooja and prayed to Lord Vishnu that tranquility would rise among the other spirits from his sacrifice. Soon after Autumn sacrificed himself, a mass amount of energy was released into …show more content…

Summer allowed the heat of the Sun to lather the Earth along with the scent of morning dew on the green grasslands.Plants began to rise high and stand tall with the Sun shining for a large portion of the day. The three spirits were each gratified with their work in the short amount of time they had. The Earth now had promise, but the wildlife could not stand the sudden shift of Summer to Winter, they needed a buffer in between.
Over time, the spirits began to dwell on the loss of Autumn as he would have perfectly fit into the system they have created. Not until he was no longer there, did the spirits realize how much they appreciated him. In recognition, everyday, the three spirits would get together and conduct a pooja, apologizing to him and begging for him to come back. The spirits soon decided to take action rather than mourn about the past and eventually the spirits began creating their own season between Winter and

    An impulse of affection and guardianship drew Niel up the poplar-bordered road in the early light [. . .] and on to the marsh. The sky was burning with the soft pink and silver of a cloudless summer dawn. The heavy, bowed grasses splashed him to the knees. All over the marsh, snow-on-the-mountain, globed with dew, made cool sheets of silver, and the swamp milk-weed spread its flat, raspberry-coloured clusters. There was an almost religious purity about the fresh morning air, the tender sky, the grass and flowers with the sheen of early dew upon them. There was in all living things something limpid and joyous-like the wet morning call of the birds, flying up through the unstained atmosphere. Out of the saffron east a thin, yellow, wine-like sunshine began to gild the fragrant meadows and the glistening tops of the grove. Neil wondered why he did not often come over like this, to see the day before men and their activities had spoiled it, while the morning star was still unsullied, like a gift handed down from the heroic ages.

    It is understandable that nature would be cruel to those who challenge it, yet at times nature can be merciless. In the west, human inhabitants are forced to cope with nature’s harsh condition: “’I don’t get my gears turning smooth till it’s over a hundred. I worked on a peak outside Bisbee, Arizona, where we were only eleven or twelve miles from the sun. It was a hundred and sixteen degrees on the thermometer, and every degree was a foot long. And that was in the shade. And there wasn’t no shade.’” (16). The use of imagery describes the severity of nature and its lack of mercy, especially when stating that there was “no shade” to hide from the sun’s blinding rays.

    I prepared myself for the upcoming adventurous day. I set out along a less-traveled path through the woods leading to the shore. I could hear every rustle of the newly fallen leaves covering the ground. The brown ground signaled the changing of seasons and nature's way of preparing for the long winter ahead. Soon these leaves would be covered with a thick layer of snow. The leaves still clinging to the trees above displayed a brilliant array of color, simultaneously showing the differences of each and the beauty of the entire forest.

    As the first rays of the sun peak over the horizon, penetrating the dark, soft light illuminates the mist rising up from the ground, forming an eerie, almost surreal landscape. The ground sparkles, wet with dew, and while walking from the truck to the barn, my riding boots soak it in. The crickets still chirp, only slower now. They know that daytime fast approaches. Sounds, the soft rustling of hooves, a snort, and from far down the aisle a sharp whinny that begs for breakfast, inform me that the crickets are not the only ones preparing for the day.

    The sunset was not spectacular that day. The vivid ruby and tangerine streaks that so often caressed the blue brow of the sky were sleeping, hidden behind the heavy mists. There are some days when the sunlight seems to dance, to weave and frolic with tongues of fire between the blades of grass. Not on that day. That evening, the yellow light was sickly. It diffused softly through the gray curtains with a shrouded light that just failed to illuminate. High up in the treetops, the leaves swayed, but on the ground, the grass was silent, limp and unmoving. The sun set and the earth waited.
