Walking out unto our terrace today I noticed a large spider web, artfully stretched between a bush and our tree. A thing of true beauty, a natural work of art. A signal that the fall season is soon upon us.
Summer is now turning into fall again and I am feeling the chill of the north wind on my face. It will soon be time to face the winter darkness once more. But fortunately before the ultimate cold and dark of winter descends, there is this magical season of dappled sunlight and frosty color to bask in. A time to collect our thoughts and the experiences from the last three seasons and bring them together into a warm and comforting quilt, a quilt that will both protect us from the cold days ahead as well as nourish our souls through the long winter’s night.
It is in the fall that my thoughts turn much as the sun’s angle and become reflective of times past.
It is once again time to gather and sort them so that they can be carefully stored in the memories of my mind, yet still kept accessible for times to come when I will need them once again to feed on and gain sustenance from them.
