subtle sun, lead her
down untrodden path of
time.
ah! berries in wait.
Autumn’ or ‘fall’ marks the beginning of falling temperatures and
the sun starts it all. Autumn is a precursor to winter a season that often
restricts ones’ movements due to biting cold. So too is the autumn in ones’
life a precursor to the winter of old age an age when many of us tend to get
confined to our home, our family .
In the autumn of life we tend to be more subtle, more sober like
the rays of the sun and as each day passes by, we walk down the untrodden path of
time getting closer to the winter of life. In this we are not alone. There are millions
of others of different ages going through the same process, just like the
berries- some ripe, some raw and some in between the two neither ripe nor raw. We
are the berries ,the leaves our path and the subtle rays of the sun falling on
the leaves are the hands that leads us forward on our journey of life as we move from middle age to old age.
