Fall Leaves Comments

Rating: 5.0

Of all the seasons fall is the most beautiful in Oklahoma. Sunshine warms the body and soul to perfection like the toaster occasionally toasts my bread. I struggle so often to get the perfect toast but for sunshine we leave ourselves at the mercy of sun. Surprisingly life is really wonderful with out the weight of trying to be perfect or having no say in spread of sunshine and many wonderful things that are gifted to us.

After unusually wet early October, we are now blessed again with sunny weather. It is just so nourishing and heartwarming to take a walk around neighbor hood or drive around town to watch the trees bursting with colors of fall. Sun leaves a golden hue on top of the trees still with leaves. Rain and wind has littered the ground with leaves. I sit out and watch those dry leaves falling and dancing in air for a while before their gentle and quiet fall. Even in their demise they offer beauty and solace to the onlookers.

I absolutely adore and i mean adore this piece, i am normally quite easily distracted so cannot read large writes (and to me this is) but i was totally (excuse the pun) swept away with this most wonderfully microscopic study of autumn... how perfectly you expressed a thought i had never consciously considered but yes they do appear as tiny golden fish, swirling in rapid waters and the ones trapped in webs appear afraid... what i found most beautiful about this piece is the time and indulgence spent doing something almost ceremonial for autumn... with grace and an innocent youth filled enthusiasm........i am so glad you posted this as it has filled me with a fresh outlook which i had long forgotten...when it stops raining here...eventually i shall go sit in my small garden and appreciate my little patch of paradise with a renewed smile......tyvm karen
