Nature

A subtle chain of countless rings
The nest unto the farthest brings;
The eye reads omens where it goes,
And speaks all languages the rose;
And, striving to be man, the worm
Mounts through all the spires of form.~~~~Ralph Waldo Emerson

To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature.  Most persons don not see the sun.
At least they have a very superficial seeing.  The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but
shines into the eye and the heart of the child.

Fall

I've often heard it said that many people dread fall; everything is dead and dying and those "awful" winter months are ahead.  But, I've always loved it. It's always felt fresh, invigorating, like the start of something interesting and exciting is about to happen.
I love the changing leaves, the changing temperatures, the change in the smell of the air.
Maybe it's the fear of change that those people dread.  But, change isn't always a bad thing.
I say embrace it, be brave and see what comes of it...it may be something wonderful.
