Each season's arrival is heralded not by a calendar date, but by environmental factors [41] such as changing winds, flowering plants, temperature and migration patterns and lasts approximately two standard calendar months. The seasons also correlate to aspects of the human condition, intrinsically linking the lives of the people to the world ...
