CHANGES IN NOVEMBER

As never before do I remember the glorious beauty of November.  I'm not sure why I don't remember, except in time, just as in all the events of life unfolding, it is so difficult to hold the image so absolute that we can recall it with the same perfection.  I want to remember this November, to recall the events that have seemed so significant this go round.  When capturing the photo aside it was so difficult to really show how luminous and energetic the leaves were in the glistening sun that beautiful day in November.  What has been really interesting is that one week later in this month of November I was invited to a dear friend's celebration bonfire and it portrayed the EXACT fiery dance that those golden burnt orange leaves were displaying and I was in absolute awe, again!  November is a time to remember, so many changes that come into play as the leaves fall down, each one spiraling out of control with the blustery winds that seek to inform us of winter's coming.  Starting the day after Hallow's eve, a time of thanksgiving, a time of sharing in all the blessings received, and too as a reminder of the coming winter months that we hunker down with each other and take refuge from the storms.  The change of season, the change of time, longer nights and shorter days.  Another interesting phenomenon, the date 11.12.13, not something that happens each year, and the fact that I took notice:). I also have experienced some wisdom in the numbers of 111 and the meaning of seeing these numbers and why just now, in the 11th month of the year?  So many insights, so much to remember, that is why it is November!
