There are four distinct seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter.
Fall is sometimes called autumn when people are feeling romantic.
The rotation between seasons helps the human understand that they are moving through time along a coil, forward and around simultaneously. Maybe winter is the top of the loop, where you are suspended waiting until spring turns and you fall down the left side of the loop until kinetic energy reaches it’s peak at the bottom of the loop, which you call summer, and then as you climb back up the right side of the loop energy dwindles and you call that the progression of fall. (Though the name fall implies releasing and surrendering downward, the actual effort required to trek through this season of diminishing sunshine and oftentimes increased obligations plants it on the right side of the loop.) And then you arrive back at winter, which may not be the very top of the loop, but the top most portion of the right side, where the most effort is required to move up and over, into spring once more. And on and on.
The season are the original story.
They outlined the path between birth and death and rebirth long before we could.
