leaves, birds and fall equinox
==================
”Birds, just like the leaves, tend to vanish in the fall heading for something new. The birds will come back to start their new generations while the leaves break down and feed the forest that supports the birds. The circle of life I suppose.”
—–
Joel Robison (the photographer)
===============
So. It is Fall Equinox and I get to use one of my favorite images.
I loved the digitally enhanced photography.
I loved how the photographer described what he envisioned when he did the photography (I like it when a photographer has something in mind).
I love the thought of the cycle of, and in, life.
The equinox represents equal night & day. The moment in the year in which night and day are equal. Light and dark are balanced. The circle, and cycle, is perfectly balanced. It is possibly the one time you can actually draw a straight line in Life.
That said. I love the fact that in one simple piece of photography we are reminded that Life <the bigger Life around us> is never linear … it is circular. Things come, and go, and come back again.
Just ponder that.
Ponder and maybe wonder why would we ever think our own life <the smaller more personal ‘I’ life> is linear? Why just because something goes it will never return and, conversely, why something will stay simply because it came?
The circle of Life, I suppose.
