bounded by and equinox and a solstice.

luster.
‘there is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky.’

i’m not sure about today’s

but probably not ‘harmony.’

autumnal tints.
“october is the month for painted leaves….
as fruits and leaves and the day itself acquire a bright tint just before they fall,
so the year near its setting.
october is its sunset sky; november the later twilight.’

change.
kinders find magic in the japanese garden
seeing things change right before them.
—
‘change is a measure of time, and in the autumn, time seems speeded up.
what was, is not and never will be;
what is, is change.’

autumn awakens.
‘and the sun took a step back,
the leaves lulled themselves to sleep,
and autumn was awakened.’

falling away.
our first snowflakes fall
and from the looks on their faces
i’d say the fall pumpkins
are having a hard time
accepting the arrival of the winter weather
and wish it would all just go away.
