Autumn is ending and winter could already be here. I like the word Autumn over Fall. What do you think? 'Autumn' has more of a sophisticated air to it. I think it better captures the essence of the season. Sure, the leaves do fall; but they do so ever so gracefully in the wind. Autumn makes me want to sit outside and watch the leaves float in the wind. The rustling whispers of dry leaves can be so soothing, don't you think so?
Sure, the impending starkness of winter can be a downer - the falling of leaves could be seen as death and a loss of color from the world. But doesn't the color disappear in style? Radiant Reds, shining Yellows, brilliant Oranges fill nature; a complete contrast to its previous Green and upcoming White. I think Autumn fits this view better than Fall. I love all seasons and in a conversation with a dear friend of mine it was said that, indeed, all seasons have their beautiful moments. For me, I love Autumn the most.
It looks like those topics I had in mind a few posts back will have to wait some more. I don't wish to ruin the mood of this topic.
For those of you who celebrate, Thanksgiving is a perfect time to enjoy life. Yes, reflection and giving thanks may have become cliche; but that must mean it's important enough to be reiterated so many times. If not, I hope that you occasionally find the time to slow down life and take a break to breathe in, absorb, and enjoy life as it is - the bads, the goods, everything.
