Time markers
Life, as we live it today, has been cut off from time, seasons. we eat strawberries all year round, we can spend our winter holidays in the tropics, summer raclette really exists.

“It is encouraging to think that the unexpected cannot erase the immutability of these community celebrations.”
Samuel Dock, psychoanalyst
