Somehow this beginning of the month is harder for me to write about.
I've been procrastinating, and now it's here.
Don't know why, because Autumn is always my favorite month...fresh crisp air and leaf colors...kids going back to school, a new year in a way.
I've never felt it was the dying time...but maybe it is. So perhaps I should be embracing the dying of things. After all it happens to all of us, and even more often to our various appliances. I'll think of the term for that soon. Planned obsolescence.
Mt. Pisgah, Blue Ridge Parkway 2013The cycle of life. That's a term which we can all relate to. Think of the song Circle of Life in The Lion King.
And a bit more artistic, I found this source of all of Van Gogh's works, on Open Culture.
Very timely when considering how many of us become somewhat (or more) depressed with wintertime greys and low light levels in the northern hemisphere. Seeing such beauty expressed on canvas by a man who clearly had a rather depressing life, gives a bit of joy to me.
OK rabbit rabbit. I'm all for increasing the amount of good luck in everyone's lives!
Baby bunnies raised by my son's family in CT several years ago.
And Happy Labor Day...celebrate as you choose.
