The end of summer
When we were kids, my brother hated the TV ads this time of year-- all about "Back to School!" He wasn't thrilled at the prospect after a summer of swimming, running around outside, and traveling in the family van. I disagreed-- I was ready for the change.
But it is here, the end of summer (at least where I live). School will start soon, a whole new beginning for millions of students and teachers. I love that idea-- a new start for everyone.
On the way back home from Osler Island, I noticed yellowing leaves on trees up in the far north. It's kind of a shock, but reassuring, too.
And what cycles don't we see, between life and death and death and life?
