De Bestiarum Naturis 939 – lo Psittaco Autunnale

Perhaps, between its falling leaves and fading light,

the Autumn is not a movement toward gain or loss

but an invitation to attentive stillness and absolute presence,

reminding us to cherish the beauty of life

not despite its perishability but precisely because of it;

because the impermanence of things —

 of seasons and lifetimes and galaxies and loves —

is what confers preciousness and sweetness upon them.
