Autumn is my favorite time of year...there is no other time for me that shows the turn of the Wheel so vividly, or is so dramatic in its color and presentation. The air becomes cool and crisp, you can see forever to the world's furthest horizon, and the colors become so beautiful that there are no words to express what I see. So here are some pictures taken on my camera phone - not perfect, but spontaneous shots of what the world has been doing around me for the past few weeks. I have walked beneath trees of fire and flame, and leaves of beaten gold - I was not seeking blessing and yet blessing found me.
"I have walked beneath trees of fire and flame, and leaves of beaten gold - I was not seeking blessing and yet blessing found me" -- what a beautiful poem these words make!
"Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there–on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam." Carl Sagan (Photograph of earth taken from Voyager)
"I think...that when I die, I can breathe back the breath that made me live. I can give back to the world all that I didn't do. All that I might have been and couldn't be. All the choices that I didn't make. All the things that I lost and and spent and wasted. I can give them back to the world. To the lives that haven't been lived yet. That will be my gift back to the world that gave me the life I did live, the love I loved, the breath I breathed."(Ursula Leguin, "The Other Wind")
