Honouring the cycles of light and dark

Just as the passage of seasons and people is honoured, so are the daily

diurnal cycles and personal cycles – the cycles of light and dark. No longer

is there a working day of fixed length. During the winter season when the

number of daylight hours is reduced, the length of the working day is

reduced. It is a time to hibernate and incubate the brilliant ideas and

innovations to come. In summer, when the rays of the sun and the energy

of the water and the land around us beckon, each of us takes time off to

relax and re-energize.
