THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
WINTER is the shadow, the etching of the seasons in the mist
WINTER is the fire, simmering lonely in the soul
- Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

How divine ... and so true.
I love this calendars. Got to search and see where I can get one, it's unique and mystical.

I very much like the image of aging gracefully into eternity.
I have never seen anything like it.
Beautiful words and image.
Perfect for the post.

Dear Gemma--
I've never seen a calendar like that either--it's beautiful. Looks almost Buddhist or eastern in flavor.
Beautiful poems as well--thank you for the reminder of the circularity of it all--
Loved this post, thanks.
Seasonal orbits

I will never view eternity rings in quite the same way again.
Beautiful words, image, and music. Very soothing...thank you!
Yes, this is IT!! I recognize it (the Mystery) in your words, and the photo, too.
Oh this is very very good. So simple yet right on the prompt. Love your site.
