In Embracing the Seasons Gunilla Norris shares her soulful and thought-provoking observations of a year lived in the countryside and reflects on the abundance and meaning of nature and its cycles of renewal. This journey through the seasons has been shaped by being home in an old farmhouse with its large garden of flowers, vegetables, brook and pond, surrounded by a country landscape of stone walls, woodlots, and living creatures.The book begins in the spring, with the birds singing in the darkness of dawn and the buds knobbing up on the trees and bushes, and then circles through the warmth and richness of summer, the golden bounty of fall, and the dark serenity of winter. Until it is spring once more.Embracing the Seasons opens our eyes to ordinary wonders and not so ordinary meanings in the small events and encounters of the everyday. By illuminating the joy and beauty of daily life, it is an invitation to find and honor the sacred in the place we call home.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Enjoyable on Many Levels By Story Circle Book Reviews I enjoyed Embracing the Seasons: Memories of a Country Garden on a number of levels. First, Gunilla Norris' descriptions of her environment and the creatures she shared it with enchanted me as a writer and avid reader. She has a lovely, flowing way with words that picks you up and brings you along gently on the current of her story.Secondly, as a gardener and lover of the outdoors, I found Norris' acute observation of things in the natural world to be thoughtful and descriptive. The connections she makes between what she observes outside and her inner, spiritual life are never forced. I appreciated the fact that she had to think about these connections, and even ask herself, "What can I learn from this thing?" This, to me, adds authenticity to her essays, and brings her to life as a real, fallible, human being, not some enlightened guru out of reach of real people. Her insights are not in any way contrived, but flow naturally from the starting point of whatever she happens to be observing.Answers only come when we ask the questions, and Norris demonstrates this powerfully in the essays and poems she shares with us in this book. Again and again, I found myself asking, "What can I learn from her experience and insight?" and again and again I realized that I was indeed learning, and enjoying every minute of it.by Khadijah A.for Story Circle Book Reviewsreviewing books by, for, and about women
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. uplifting lyrical seasonal reflections By A Customer Embracing the Seasons: Memories of a Country GardenGunilla NorrisBlueBridge, Jun 9 2015, $14.95[...]ISBN: 9781629190051At Gunilla Norris’ farmhouse, frogs announce in song the arrival of spring. Song birds join nature’s choir celebrating the rebirthing of life with Joy to the World (Three Dog Night). Moving forward through the months, the peonies need stakes to support them as they show that spring has given way to summer. Displaying the warmth of this season vines grow, cicadas click and black snakes crawl until the months culminate in a harvest. Fall takes center stage with colorful leaves depicting this quarter that climaxes with Thanksgiving. Finally dark winter brings cold and stormy weather yet also the beauty of the sculptured naked ash trees. Late in the season the thaw begins and wildflowers start to bloom reminding readers that the frogs and birds will sing their song of spring.Gunilla Norris celebrates life through the cycle of the seasons in this poetic memoir; as the author offers an uplifting look at the joys she found in nature’s constant changes at a country garden. Though similar in philosophy and method to Ms. Norris’ A Mystic Garden, fans of lyrical meditations will appreciate reflections on Embracing the Seasons and do likewise with our personal fond contemplations (like skiing and sleighing down the hills of the Bronx in the 1960s winters).Harriet Klausner
