I think spring is probably the most common answer and it's hard to argue with spring, breaking out of its winter slumber and exploding with water and greenery and all the flowerful flush of a love and such... it also seems most important to me at this moment... I am in a personal transition as I try to secure a new job and relocate my family to another place... -Bob Marcacci

I'd have to say either spring or autumn. It was in spring when I learned about the transition to death. I was a boy, then, yet even now I remember that blow, or should I say awakening. Likewise is the transition from nothing into being. In the Jewish tradition the world was created in the month of Tishri, which happens to fall in the autumn season of our calendar. So, when the world grows old outside our window, we may celebrate how it will be created anew. -Robert Klein Engler
