A starry night followed by a wonderful morning, a sunrise in the silence of a Sunday and yet today my heart oscillates between sadness and joy. Autumn clearly shows its presence, the colors, the light morning mist, the light. The voices of the swallows gathering and demonstrating their flying skills together with their offspring in the morning sun, in flight like a ballet, announce the beginning of their upcoming annual journey. As a young man, I noticed all of this and found it beautiful. But now that I’m much older, I perceive it much more intensively and, in relation to my life, more thoughtfully, but also more gratefully. Another autumn is another Year, and I don’t know how many more autumns will come. I look forward to every day that comes to the time that I have left, to love and live life. © ewald apperle
