Autumn
What is about the golden tones of autumn that fascinate us
so much though we know that once those beautiful ochre, red, violets, purple
and rich indian reds dissipate we will face the white blanket of snow (at least
in Canada)?
When I think about Autumn, I’m marveled not only by the
colours of nature but also the constant change of tones because of the
reflection of light. It all happens faster than in the Summer; but if you pay
attention you can grasp the richness of the shapes, shadows and intensity
provoked by the angles of light. Autumn makes me think of warmth, of change
about to happen; it reminds me of the cycles of life- the always constant
change that helps us to become better if we choose to. It reminds me that even
when winter is close, there will be a spring, new life, new projects, new ideas.
It reminds me that, I also, need to learn to let go of what I think has been
amazing in the Summer of my life, in order to see something else grow.
Of course, it also makes me think of the fun I have playing
with my children, tossing leaves and diving into piles of leaves just for fun…
not everything is so pensive and deep in our lives… this too is part of
accepting the seasons of life…
As you embrace the end of winter today, remember that just
like Autumn, this season is only that, a season. May you enjoy and make the
most of the ones to come…
