But the similarities and correspondences, the things and conditions people have in common, are more than the differences. In this book of the season, the things treated differ from the things around you, read about those things for information, and in your journeys afield fill in the gaps with whatever it is that completes your landscape, or rounds out your cycle of the seasons, or links up to your endless chain of life.
