Autumn Leaves








I have always loved autumn.

When I set up by Sabbatical I hadn’t really thought through the implications of it concluding in that season

During a walk in Derbyshire it came home to me again that the season of 'mellow fruitfulness' is both a beginning and end. That's so true as I prepare for the last two weeks of this Sabbatical journey.

Yesterday I reflected a bit on the book by Leonard Sweet and his comments about poetry and music lyrics. I'm no poet but my Derbyshire musings created these lines:


Autumn leaves
questions
gently falling.
Nuisance or Nascence?
Ending or Beginning?
Death or Life?
