And so once again we say goodbye to summer and fall. The leaves have colored and are falling everywhere. A few track into the house. The butterflies have flown south, along with many of the birds. The air has turned brisk and it is time for sweaters and jackets and the warmth of cozy bathrobes while sitting by the fireplace.There is a sadness to saying farewell to the casualness of summer, but now it is time to greet the coming of the cold that sharpens the senses and reminds us of how change is inevitable. Along with this inevitability comes the promise of the return of the bees, birds and butterflies.
In the meantime some of the birds have remained to brighten the day. The blue jays have taken over the feeders and the solemn owl hoots in the silence of the early darkness.
The coming season is a reminder of the shortness of life and the importance of holding close to those we love and the beauty of nature in the world around us. We should never take life for granted, nor those who are important to us on our journey through life.
Goodbye to the lengthy days of light and hello to the season of snuggling in with a hot cup of cocoa, a good book and a crackling fire.
I love your last line. I embrace winter as it is one of the prettiest seasons, in my humble opinion. I enjoy the fauna, the lack of flora, yet dormant and waiting for spring to come. And while we say "goodbye" to summer and fall, it is just another "recycling" process our planet does for our benefit :)
ReplyDeleteNature should be our example of recycling. Nature is the best teacher we have, including taking time for rest and renewal between seasons.
