Wise women celebrate

I like spring, but it is too young. 

I like summer, but it is too proud. 

So I like best of all autumn, 

because its tone is mellower, 

its colours are richer,

and it is tinged with a little sorrow. 

Its golden richness speaks not of the innocence of spring, 

nor the power of summer, but of the mellowness 

and kindly wisdom of approaching age. 

It knows the limitations of life and is content."

Lin Yutang

after the heat of summer,

cool bright autumn

after the passion of youth, 

cool, quiet wisdom

november

wise women

celebrate the crone

Watching

the moon

at dawn

solitary,

mid-sky

I knew myself
completely
no
part
left
out
