“There is a sweetness to the month of October and season fall in general that brings our attention homeward and inward. Could it be the trees going to sleep, cool dry temperatures that delight our morning or daylight hours slipping way causing our focus to converge on how short and fragile life really is. All these things conspire to usher in a season of reflection on relationships and the things that give our lives meaning. What a great loss to our human experience should we ignore or squander this the autumn of our lives. Embrace it, feel it, study it, it is indeed one of God’s great gifts to us.”
― Michael Marcel, Sr.

“Sometimes grief is like a wave, and healing is like a butterfly.”
― Jocelyn Soriano, Of Waves and Butterflies: Poems on Grief

“Let's not talk about LOVE in February only,
Let's give the other months some LOVE too,
Let's spread LOVE every day of the year,
And show the world,
We really care”
― Charmaine J. Forde

“Winter rain on moss soundlessly recalls those happy bygone days”
― Sam Hamill, The Sound of Water: Haiku by Basho, Buson, Issa, and Other Poets
