Part IV: FLOURISHING - Living Your Inheritance
Chapter 10: Seasonal Wisdom
Recipe 10: Seasonal Soup for Every Time of Year
The healing power of nature extends far beyond any single ingredient or superfood—it lies in understanding your place within the larger rhythms of the earth. Your body is designed to adapt to seasonal changes, to crave warming foods when the days grow short and cooling foods when the sun blazes overhead. This isn't just poetic—it's practical wisdom encoded in your DNA from thousands of generations who survived by eating with the seasons. When you align your diet with these natural cycles, you're not just eating what's freshest and most affordable—you're participating in an ancient conversation between your body and the earth. You're remembering that you are not separate from nature, but part of it, and that your health is intimately connected to the health of the whole living system that sustains you.
