The monotonous summer green,
like the ordinary time of the liturgical year,
has much subtlety to savour.
Though hard to capture with a paint brush,
subjects are easily discerned by sight.

 
This monotony is broken in nature

by easily overlooked yet subtle and exquisite variations.

 
Can we appreciate the beauty also in sickness as well as in health,
in the aging and the dying 
as well as in the living?

 

 
 
Individually each Maple leaf is very unique yet together with others, 
they set the countryside aflame.
 
 


 

 We know that the year is more than half gone, and Autumn is close at
 hand when even flowers, grass, grains in the field all begin to

 gravitate towards the spectrum of colours as in the sunset.
.
Unlike sunrise, there is something very special and endearing 
about the warm glow of sunset, declining as we gaze, 
almost with an aura of melancholy,
like a tune in the minor key.

Soon the world is quietly covered by snow. 

 
With the shortening of days comes the
Advent of Light.
The earth is pulsating beneath the sleeping grounds waiting 
to burst into colours again come the next Spring.

Alleluia!
