regrowth, death, and a happy halloween

I know that fall is not usually a time to think about growth and regrowth. Traditionally its more a time of death, of one season passing away while the world gets ready to rest and prepare itself for the cold winter ahead.

But lately

the cold and the death and the rest

that seem to blanket the whole world this time of year

all make me think of the growth and the life

that will come from that rest.

This rest and

the death of a few things

is necessary

for the life of all the rest.

I am looking forward to this

mandatory hibernation

that I feel coming on with the cold.

And I am looking forward

to waking up from it.

Hope you all have a

marvelous Halloween

weekend.
