Recommends

If you are returning
I recommend doing so in springtime

Return
just as winter's chill still lingers in the air
            a hint of frost, a bit of bareness on the trees
Depending on what you have left in order to return, the weather may mimic your heart
    allowing you to mourn what is behind you through comforting layers of clothes

As you adjust
so will the climate, harmoniously
        Shoots of green rising from the soil
a slow rebirth, then an explosion of new leaf and bloom from the trees
    first flowers of the year appearing
buds and blossoms to color the warmer days
  as harkened by the sun; testing out her strength on the awakening world

In the bask of spring beauty
you will remind yourself of important truths:
       this is not better or worse than what you left, just different, for many reasons
       summer will come, and with it heat which you make you melty and mournful
       you will rediscover things you both adore and loathe, as with anywhere
so be gentle with yourself
   as the spring is soft and gentle and joyous for you


If you are returning
first ready your heart
and
       if you can
I recommend doing so
  in spring
