Autumn 2008

Autumn is here.
I see it in the intricate interlacing spider webs gracing the fence in my backyard. Sadness pulls at me when I look at the flowers that have bloomed so beautifully and faithfully all summer. Their stalks and leaves are now tinged with brown, and the blooms are not as plentiful. The air feels crisp in the early mornings and late evenings. Daylight shrinks daily. Yet, sadness is only for a moment.

Although autumn is beginning and after that, winter; the renewal of spring will follow. The true beauty of autumn is that it signifies the surety that each season has its time and is followed by the next. I am reminded that the death of each important person and relationship in my life has been followed by new beginnings. Death of a loved one was followed by the birth of a grandson. Death of important relationships led to greater knowledge and acceptance of self to prepare for future relationships. Seeing plants wither away and all but disappear has been succeeded by finding new little volunteers the next spring.

I appreciate the seasons, especially autumn, for helping me understand more about the cycles of life. Each event shapes and prepares us for what lies ahead. I'm looking for what is waiting around the next corner!
