Autumn Revisited

Endings and beginnings;

seasons flow from one to the next

as if nothing is different from the day before.

But change is inevitable.

From death to life and back again,

a revolving cycle of letting go and starting over.

Leaves drop at the first sign of solstice.

Others determine to overcome winter’s murderous plot.

The ones that let go make way for new growth.

Those that hang on remain ever green year after year.

Which is right and which is wrong?

Both.  Neither. There is no right or wrong.

They just do what they are called and designed to do.

Nature needs both.  Life needs both.

Understanding gives way to acceptance;

fighting intended destiny is futile. It all turns out as it should.

It’s a perfect blueprint by a master designer.

Welcome the change. Embrace the ebb and flow.

Peace comes in knowing the next season always arrives on time.
