Albert Camus wrote the famous words: "Autumn is a second Spring where every leaf is a flower." A drive through the White Mountains of NH this time of year would certainly prove that to be true. Everywhere we turn, vivid hues of yellow, red and (my personal favorite) orange seem to be bursting across the backdrop of a clear blue sky. It's like a festival of color has been splashed across the Valley, painted with a brush that man could never master himself. Amazing.

A part of me is disappointed to know that within a few short weeks, all of that color will have dulled, taking on more subtle - and even drab - tones. The leaves will become dry and brittle, and eventually drift from the branches to the cold ground below. Instead of the "swooshing" sound they make as the wind gently rattles them now, they will instead take on a more raspy tone. They will scuttle against the pavement and rustle in the grass. My thoughts will turn from admiration of the beauty to preparing for winter (not nearly as much fun).

Seasons change. Sometimes we like the new view, other times not so much... but if there's one thing in this life we can count on (aside from death and taxes), it's that change is inevitable. Nothing in life is static. Just as our climate and scenery change, so do the circumstances of our lives.
