It's autumn again. An ending--a beginning. Leaves are coloring, falling, announcing change. Plants and animals prepare to go inward for protection from the cold. People go inside as temperatures cool. Our energies also go inward as outside activities slow down. These cycles keep us connected with nature, and also connected as a human tribe. Times of gathering and harvest, as well as collecting seeds for future undertakings. Times of taking on and letting go. Life cycles.
"Cool, cool evening
White moon
Autumn wind blowing"
--haiku by Uejima Onitsura
