Ideas in Seasons

awake & linking : Integral Creative Cycle - Kosmos | posted by Shaun O'Reilly

At the beginning of Spring (equinox) this year, in what season are your current ideas?

Linked to from Utne, I'm reading a journal post about how the growth of our creative ideas (and work) can be like a mirror to the seasonal cycle of nature. The thought doesn't have to be exactly "proved" because I think I can sense it ... and, it's fun. Don't we believe in a rhythm underlying the best of what we think and do?
The post from Kosmos Journal HERE.

An example, seemingly academic but perhaps pliable for us, in excerpt:

Autumn, preparing the terrain and planting the seeds; the body, studying what is already known about a subject matter, i.e., the body of literature

Winter, rooting and nourishment of the seed inside the earth; the vital, conception of novel developments in contact with unconscious transpersonal and archetypal sources

Spring, emerging toward the light of buds, leaves, and flowers; the heart, first conscious feelings and rough ideas

Summer, selection of mature fruits and shared celebration; the mind, intellectual selection, elaboration, and offering of the fruits of the creative process
