Each leaf falls as if it were motioning 'no'

"Autumn"

by Rainer Maria Rilke

The leaves are falling, falling as if from far up,
as if orchards were dying high in space.
Each leaf falls as if it were motioning "no."

And tonight the heavy earth is falling
away from all other stars in the loneliness.

We're all falling. This hand here is falling.
And look at the other one. It's in them all.

And yet there is Someone, whose hands
infinitely calm, holding up all this falling.

Though it isn't quite autumn yet, I feel it in the air. I just can't wait to feel the crunch of leaves beneath my feet. And fall colors...how I love their warmth.

(My boyfriend calls these my Charlie Brown earrings. It makes me like them even more.)

I've been waiting for cooler temperatures so that I could wear this cowl scarf and this t-shirt. I forced myself not to wear this t during summer...though the irony would have been amusing. I've always thought it was odd to put a winter print on summer fabric. Do you have any ironic pieces like that?

What colors are you loving this fall?
