How I embrace the glorious approach of autumn! The oppressive heat of the summer months is again exiled for yet another year. The vivacious crisp air descends upon us like a gentle benediction from that which dreams us into being.
A stillness, a silence, dawns as the earth begins to ready itself for its winter slumber. The fauna prepare to sleep away the winter or die as their short lifespans conclude. The trees, in a radiant, beautiful display that harkens us to remember that all things in this material world of shape and form shall die and pass away into infinity, gloriously change the colors of their leaves before withering into oblivion, just as our bodies will, in time. A reminder to embrace the beauty of this short, exquisite life we have.
Solitude, silence, stillness begin to blanket the land and a calm, abiding, fresh presence welcomes a new season, jubilantly presenting itself for a few short moments.
Autumn. My most favorite of times is upon us and it’s utterly magnificent!
