Season Change


The air wafts cooler crisper

Rattling leaves will soon
Give up their grip as
Rushing autumn breezes
Hurry here to greet us

Eagerly we wait for
Season change

. . . . . . .

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

    This is one of my Mother’s very favorite bible scriptures to quote. And not-so-coincidentally, a favorite song of hers by The Byrds. 🙂
