Autumn

So, Fall is here again. And when I say 'again', I mean the nature's "sunny-summer-is-over-and-now-endure-the-white-winter" again.
So, Fall is here again. How do I know....? Well, obviously its the leaves! Few are already amber in a hurry, some in getting-there-orange, others turning pale in the eventuality of sooner-or-later, many still green in resistance to the transition.


I'm sure there is a scientific explanation to why leaves turn from green to orange but I wonder if there is a theory about the purpose of this change. Perhaps the leaves are turning red-with-rage about summer getting over... just like me. Or maybe the leaves transform with the wisdom they have gained in this year's life-cycle, enough for them to not fear withering away. Could it be that they want to break away from the stereo-typical green look and this is their only now-or-never chance? Maybe there is a message about the connection between well-being, growth and love in their shifting from green to red. I am willing to risk a guess that they have a bad attitude about aging! Or if nothing else, it could be their spectacular finale'...their effort to earn their freedom from the tree so that they can fly a distance with the wind.



Whatever their purpose maybe, I just know that the trees in autumn are a beautiful sight. Compelling enough for me to gaze at them a few moments longer, make an effort to capture their picturesque look, share about them with you and make me think...
...I wish with age I could transform into a person with purpose so deep and a life so meaningful.
...and I wish, as a child I had painted my trees with amber leaves.
