As we try to grab onto the last few weeks of summer by placing the remnants of bright colored flowers into vases and placing them about our homes, one cannot help but smell the scent of autumn wafting in upon the air. It is closing in quickly and it stirs many in their hearts. I get a pang of sadness thinking about the warmth of summer days slipping away and the chill of Autumn filling the air instead. I love Autumn, it is perhaps my favorite season, yet I feel sadness at summers departure. It got me wondering about why it is we feel these emotions as the seasons change. Why do we have a need to hold onto things? We know, much like the sun that always shines down upon us, that as summer wanes away it will return one day soon for us to enjoy again. It is not lost forever, yet we feel the heaviness within and grieve in our own small ways.
