Fall

In the cycle of nature, Fall is a time to wind down in preparation for winter. It is nature's closure of many things even as we start new projects that nestle us in for the cold months. As the wind whips through and leaves collapse around us, I think of eventual renewal in the Spring.

But Fall is also a treacherous time. Both Dad and Granny passed in the Fall. My friend's father passed this Fall. And now I get word that a friend's 20-year-old son was hit by a car from behind while he was on his bike. He did not survive. It rained all day after I received this news. I don't know where the renewal is.
