The Odd and Uneven Human

from The Everyday Human · host Eastin DeVerna

August: On Wonder and AweAugust 27And then there’s the odd uneven times in between—I believe this is where humans fit best. We are transitory creatures by nature and so it is the days when nature herself has yet to decide what she wants to be and so becomes a little bit of everything that we feel most at home. This is a touchpoint in us as we are shapeshifters in our appearance from infant to adult to elder. In how we march from vibrance in morning to content in midday to pensive in the evening. In how we change emotions like masks, sometimes from one moment to the next. As nature dances between cool and hot, wet and dry, we move in step between young and old, happy and sad, angry and joyful.It is no wonder we humans are the way we are—odd and uneven—when we are born of nature and of the seasons.Reflection title: The Odd and Uneven Human Creative inspiration:  Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia PlathReflection question: Which season, or rather which odd and uneven seasonal transition, inspires wonder in me? Which is a reflection of me at this time in my life?
