[Seasons: Autumn X]
Autumn is a season of slow dying, as the earth crawls toward the long silence of winter. Grasses dry out and eventually with lay flat and lifeless for months. Trees lose their leaves, as a sacrifice to the earth’s soil. The flowers have long been laid to rest. The vegetables are harvested and the stocks and vines given to the decaying pile of compost. Everything dries out and slows down, bracing for winter.
Nature responds in a curious way during this winter preparation. She scatters seeds—a hope-filled act in the face of slow death. She excessively invests in future seasons of life.
When death and decline are all around, new possibilities are being sown.
While one season ends another is already on its way.
