autumn


Calendar of the Soul


September 09, 2007 - September 15, 2007


There dims in damp autumnal air
The senses' luring magic;
The light's revealing radiance
Is dulled by hazy veils of mist.
In distances around me I can see
The autumn's winter sleep;
The summer's life has yielded
Itself into my keeping.


English translation by Ruth and Hans Pusch

What a beautiful photo!
I love the changing seasons but we need sunlight to emphasize those changes. Autumn can dampen and dim things as it reminds us summer has gone and winter is coming with its inevitable darkness of shorter days, but light, provoked by glorious autumnal sunlit colours, helps us.
