“Apples: A Still Life”—by the Seasonalist

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each. Let them be our only diet drink and botanical medicines.”—Henry David Thoreau

Welcome to September!

To quote my angry rant from my recent newsletter, Bidding Adieu to Summer,

I reject the hedonism of Pumpkin Spice Lattes and influencers decorating their homes and baking “spooky treats” in AUGUST. Get a grip and live in the moment, not for clicks. In the name of the Great Pumpkin, all things in good time.

Living in the moment is the secret to happiness. When we live seasonally, we use our senses to live joyfully by anticipating what’s new and novel this month. And for September, it’s apples and football. It’s still not pumpkin time. Three months of pumpkin time is not special—it’s decidedly unseasonal. Set aside your pumpkin thoughts until October 1st. In this over-consuming society, just let go.

This September we will live our best lives by living and joyfully anticipating all the good stuff this month.
