"The month of November makes me feel that life is passing more quickly. In an effort to slow it down, I try to fill the hours more meaningfully" - Henry Rollins
Project 365: #211
This is a true reflection of a northern hemisphere landscape in mid-November. The only difference between Hannover and here is that you can see the blue sky! Pretty much most of the leaves have fallen, helped along by the occasional gusty day, and have been swept up or blown away, leaving just the branches. You can actually see the houses through the trees on the other side of the lake now. The landscape has become barer, grayer, bringing with it the anxiety that the year is coming to a close at a pace faster than is comfortable. The key is keeping your mind off how fast things change by keeping busy in meaningful ways. I went for a nice long run today, appreciating the change of season and all that it brings. With the end of summer and fall, there is a time of hibernation and much needed renewal for new seasons. We too need to slow down, breathe deeply, and appreciate each moment of each day, keeping time from rushing away with us.
