“Springtime.” “Summertime.” “Wintertime.” They all trip lightly off the tongue. So why not “Autumn time?”
***
For everything there is a season,
a time for every activity under heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 NLT

***
There is no better time than the autumn
to begin forgetting the things that trouble us,
allowing them to fall away like dried leaves.
There is no better time to dance again,
to make the most of every crumb of sunlight
and warm body and soul with its rays
before it falls asleep and becomes only a dim light bulb in the skies.
Paulo Coelho
