Autumn

Autumn leaves are falling down..falling down..falling down

Autumn leaves are falling down..falling down..falling down

The season of autumn has opened me to the nature's new look. Clad in yellows, browns and reds...the standing tall trees look as elegant and beautiful as ever. The shades seem to as though express the colors of mirth and festitvity. It might be my mental reflection that I see in these colors...

As the day dawns the cool mild breeze...brushes along the trees...gently swaying them..and spreading the aroma of joy..As they sway and sway then so gently shred their leaves...and so beautifully these softly fly with the breeze..and gently land on the ground. Perhaps they are getting ready for the festivities of December. So ironical it looks..to get ready is to unclad themselves from the greens, then the reds and then stay erect in Pale brown...until they are again clad in white..!

Yesterday evening as i stood in my balcony watching the swaying trees, their shredding leaves...and the abstract designs they made when they fell on the ground..my heart began to grow lighter and lighter..the dusk shine that fell on the leaves made them look brighter and beautiful. Taking a sip of my hot coffee ,a thought softly struck me...what does the autumn signify us? Is there any thing that the nature communicates to us through the season..? Is there anything beyond this autumn..?

I had the thought and began to probe..

I closely watched the cool breeze...and its gentle strokes...as each time the wind brushed the trees..each time..a handful of them began to loosen from the branch..and slowly glide down like a parachute..slow..and gentle..swaying left..right..Topsy and turvey...

It was a season of shredding..leaving..loosening..and relieving...and Yes!..there i found my philosophical connection..just as the trees shredding from them the heaviness..thickness of green..it was time for us..to shred away all our worries...doubts..fears..and pretension. Just as they stand plain and UN-decorated - It is a season to be plain at heart...and be free of everything. It is a time to renounce the worldly affairs and stay at peace with yourself. Just as they wait for the December to fall - we with all our eagerness wait for the Christmas to fall.

It is a time to unwind..rest..and be at peace.

The thought made be happy. It urged to be along the pace with the nature. As the nature has begun to unwind itself..so should I, I thought, unravel the ME..and prepare myself for the impending Fest of December..!
