"Autumn is a season of great beauty, but it is also a season of decline: the days grow shorter, the light is suffused, and summer's abundance decays toward winter's death. Faced with this inevitable winter, what does nature do in autumn? It scatters the seeds that will bring new growth in the spring - and scatters them with amazing abandon."
Parker J. Palmer, in Let Your Life Speak (San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 2000) p. 98
