RDP Tuesday: SEASONS
Today is the beginning of the Autumn Equinox and as we know you can celebrate it with gusto.
Some people set up altars for Mabon. Some people host parties. Some people decorate their homes in fall colors like oranges and reds and browns and golds.
And then there are people like me or put their dog on a leash and go for a nice walk at dusk to get a taste of the quiet, the still and beautiful quiet that come with th Fall and of course Winter.
If the sky is clear, on these nights I do some star gazing too.
The Fall brings me peace, it brings me excitement too. Best of all, the Fall is the beginning of story telling time by firelight or candlelight..
Below I have selected some great paintings that perfectly reflect how I feel about Autumn. I hope you enjoy them and the music clips by a great pianist named James Woodward. I’ve also enclosed an instrumental version of a song that seems to be appropriate for the tonight.
