Lovely thought for the day ~ Thank you!

Autumn is special, and is my favorite time of year too. Makes me think and feel melancholy but in a good way, if that makes sense. Looking forward to days of comfy sweaters and open windows bringing a slight crisp breeze, herbal tea with honey, leaves turning, reading, cats purring. Last night was the equinox. Went to see a favorite artist/performer and she captured these "fall" moments, reciting a Rilke poem:

The leaves are falling, falling as if from far up,
as if orchards were dying high in space.
Each leaf falls as if it were motioning "no."

And tonight the heavy earth is falling
away from all other stars in the loneliness.

We're all falling. This hand here is falling.
And look at the other one. It's in them all.

And yet there is Someone, whose hands
infinitely calm, holding up all this falling.
Rainer Maria Rilke
