To The World: "I Am Your Friend!"
As the Earth spins on it's axis, tilted and ending Summer, arriving at Winter, only to eventually, give us Spring, I look back at the many Autumns. They were here after so many wonderful Summers. Sunny Autumn days and cold nights slow down the ebb and flow of nutrients, and in the leaves, that place of photosynthesis, get slowed down, leaving those nutrients to cease making green chlorophyll, yielding those vistas of spectacular colors. They are nearly breathtaking at times. Before we know it though, it's over. As I get older I ponder sometimes how grand it would be if Autumn could last for 4 months at least. Maybe that would prepare me for these bitter Winters, especially this one, when my wife has left me. I make mistakes. I admit them and own them. Yes, world I am your friend, nature guides me, she loves me and warm days await.
