Are you an October person? I am for sure. An old friend and author first asked me that. She was an October person, always going out to fight the good fight with all the banners flying in the wind. I'd like to think I'm more than a bit like her.
Aside from that, I have always loved the transition seasons of the year. The miracle of spring after the long cold nights and short days of winter. But autumn is my favourite. The glory of the maples burning against the vibrant blue of the sky, the last rose of summer blooming into the middle of October- another one who is throwing her banners against the sky and defying the frosty night of the full harvest moon.
I like to write about October people as well, when I was researching Discarded I found Louis Riel and recognized another October person. That being said, things don't always turn out well for October people, but darn we go out when we go with flying colours.
I love the colours of fall, the sepia tones of the dry fields, long grasses whispering in the wind, birds hunting the fallen grains in the shorn crop fields. And the wonder of the wild geese calling into the wind as they begin their journey. It always lifts my heart and for a moment I fly with them, my wings stroking the air.
So to all you October people out there...keep on keeping on!
Until next month stay well, stay happy
