Fall

As the weather here in Ontario has suddenly turned cold and leaves are scattered everywhere, it feels like the fall season is here. Though we know it is upon us, it has always seemed to me that there comes a day in which fall arrives. There is smell in the air that can't be defined. The earth is damp and breathing heavy through the dying plants and decaying leaves. One's own breath becomes like the earth, weighted and yet refreshed. That's how I see the season. Typically, the days get darker, the weather turns colder, and people become like the earth, dormant, hibernating from the cold. We retreat inside to books, movies, warm drinks. Still the season is one of vibrant colors, smells and flavors. It should make you feel alive and energized. My challenge to you all this fall is to wake up, look about you, and don't let the chilled weather dampen your momentum in your classes or your personal life.
