Autumn

     In the spring, we bloom and are nurtured by our families.  In the summer, through heat and hurricanes, droughts and downpours, we continue to grow and are busy at work.  We produce the seeds of the next generation.
     In the autumn, we have matured.  Our years as a child and parent have completed a cycle.  The cooler, calmer days create the most colorful views.  We can share our perspective and wisdom gained through experiencing many seasons.  Before winter sets in, we have the opportunity to enjoy the glory of autumn.
