As I looked up into the sky, it was raining leaves. Each leaf collided grudgingly, spiraling downward to its end resting upon the ground below. The moon was waning in the sky, begging for attention like a man on a street corner; no one caring. Trees stare at me, naked with embarrassment. Sorry, but there is nothing I can do to clothe them; they understand. The cool breeze danced about my face and hands soothing the heat given off by the sun at my back; a perfect combination of Nature’s thermostat. Fall is a great time of year, but one of a depressing change. A time where the sun distances itself, allowing us to feel the biting cold and remind us of our human nature once again. If we were to live in a world that never changed or challenged us, we would lose our sense of self, purpose, and happiness. How about our humanness? Life gives the world meaning. Just as seasons give different seasons meeting, for if there was no spring to compare to summer, then summer would be nothing to anticipate; euthanized by a stationary change. Enjoy the change in seasons. Bring on the snow, but only if I can wait in expectation for the sun of summer to come again in a few months’ time.
