Totally. I think it's useful to have agriculturally based holidays for this purpose. Even if they're ultimately detached from their original purpose (i.e. I don't really need to know when the time to plant trees comes around), it's useful to have these celebrations with seasonally specific rituals to mark the passage of time.
Tu b shvat just passed. It's the Jewish holiday celebrating the birthday of trees. There's snow on the ground where I live, we still celebrate and plant seedlings in the spring to follow up. I just like trees and it means spring is around the corner which is nice too.
OP was zen on an individual level. This was zen on a communal level 🧘
