That's the beauty of the this celebration and even then it gets lost in the white noise of all the marketing and commercialism. But I love these traditions. They seem pure and make a lot of sense why people back in more simpler times would stop and celebrate nature as their lives depended on it and involved them directly every day.

Yea, I know what you mean. I feel those things constantly too. But the changes are happening in the nature constantly. I love observing them.
