Seasons in Harmony

“This is the real secret of life — to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.”― Alan Watts

“Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love – that makes life and nature harmonise. The birds are consulting about their migrations, the trees are putting on the hectic or the pallid hues of decay, and begin to strew the ground, that one’s very footsteps may not disturb the repose of earth and air, while they give us a scent that is a perfect anodyne to the restless spirit. Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.” ― George Eliot

Autumn at the door
Let her in
Harvest
Deep colors of celebration
Of brilliant bloom, growth
Whether we see it yet or not
New life, different forms, shapes, sizes
Sunrises and sunsets remain
Grounding us in present beauty
In all seasons.

“The more a thing tends to be permanent, the more it tends to be lifeless.”― Alan Watts
