October Melancholy
As the days grow shorter and the leaves turn color and fall languidly from the
trees, there is a peculiar melancholy which we are susceptible to at this time
of year. October days are tinged with sadness and a sense of loss at the
end of another summer, and yet this is combined with a feeling that the
beauty of a crisp autumn day under a clear blue sky somehow redeems the
loss of summer. The last monarch butterflies wearily flapping their exhausted
wings, the flocks of geese heading south, and the vibrant colors of the leaves
all presage a time of dormancy, when we will hunker down for the long, cold
winter. Everyone probably has a favorite season of the year, but being able to
enjoy each one with its different qualities is a blessing from God. And, perhaps
this October melancholy is God’s way of telling us to start conserving our
energy. If we’ve been diligent all summer, and the harvest is plentiful, then just
maybe, with the Lord’s blessing, we’ll make it through the coming winter, and
live to see another glorious Spring.
