I find it sort of interesting (obvious…but interesting nonetheless) how modern life and activity cycles seem to mimic the way nature behaves. Right now, work feels like it’s easing and slowing down a little bit. I was talking about it with my coworker as we were out fetching lunch. There’s this urge that we have to just not be at work. Like most people, I want to relax and be with loved ones. This slowing down of activity kind of coincides with the shortening of the days. The solstice will roll around, the year will end, and soon enough everything will begin ramping up again.
So what about the summer solstice? I mean, the urge to not be at work is pretty high during that time as well, isn’t it? I guess I’d argue that the urge to get out of the office is just so that we’re able to do higher energy things. During the summer, you don’t take time off work in order to stay at home and relax, right? Not like winter. Well, you could…but it’s less likely.
I was just thinking that no matter what, we’ll always be inextricably linked to nature’s cycles, whether consciously or subconsciously. There’s always a bit of synchronicity at play, no?
