You know it is autumn when the spiders webs are like glittering lace collars abandoned on gates and the hedgerows are wrapped in them. The blackberries are on the wane, the apples are weighing down the boughs and the elderberries would need to hurry up. There is a certain comfort to all of this, paving the way for cosy nights by the fire, chilly mornings, hopefully not too much rain.
The swallows are still flitting about, they do not seem in any hurry to leave, is this a good sign?
It is a sad time for us and many others, the cycle of life, has never been more evident and a timely reminder of the brevity of our time on earth.
It makes me try to enjoy the now, live in the moment as Eshart Tole would tell us. Here is a question. They tell us to live in the moment, the past is behind us and the future is never but it seems to me that a lot of what we as humans do is to reflect and learn from the past, how can we do this if we are totally in the moment? How do you live in the now, as well as reflecting on your experiences in order to learn from them to make meaning of your life?
