Urgency

Trees mark the season.

The poplars on the hillside stand alone in their brightness, the oaks burning down to russet and sienna, and the rest dark in their bareness.

Autumn energizes us. We feel an urgency to accomplish what we can because time is short.

Wisdom comes from knowledge of mortality.

Motivation comes from death.
