autumn is waning

It is late October and the season of fall is past its peak. The colors and brisk crisp air is giving way to the cold and damp. Fall is a transition from the warmth and sunshine of summer to the stark cold and bland atmosphere of winter. I find it comparable to our lives; youth which is spring, vitality is summer, wisdom and wittiness of the aged that relates to fall; and the still quietness of winter which reflects death.
Winter though is pure in the blanket of snow, and the quiet of the earth has a beauty all its own. So if winter reflects death, than death too holds the promise of new life; which all Christians firmly believe. And that my friend is hope.
