I definitely agree with it being waves – I used to try and cram everything into one evening, but it's just too much. And either way, it seems more apt to view the festivals as a gradual transition than one big flip of a switch from one season or another. Not just in the way the seasons themselves might shift, but in the way we perceive and process that shift.

While the festival days are an excuse to have people over, a lot of what is needed for festivals is already part of our daily, weekly, or monthly household practices. I look at it as waves, rather than One Big Day That Only Comes Once (or Four Times) A Year So We Have to Get It RIGHT. ;)<br /><br />But as you said, time, life, and experience make it easier to flow with it now than when we were young and macho and anxious. Learning to not push the river... it took a long time for me to relax into a slower pace. I think it's one of the gifts of age. We're not as physically fast or strong as we once were, but the sense of peace and patience is a welcome relief. <3Kathryn Price NicDhànahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293181815707001620noreply@blogger.com
