There is a season


 ...to rest, to lay down upon the earth and give yourself to it.  There is a season to walk in the dappled light, to record the light, or, even better, to just let the light fall upon you.  There is a season for fervor, for zealotry and worship.  There is a season for failure, when visions are eclipsed by niggling human need.  There is a season to drive, and drive, taking roads never driven upon.  There is a season to ask strangers what they believe, and to listen to them sing in a pale white church.  There is a season for plump blood dahlias.  For red barn doors.  For dried gourds.  Pumpkin muffins.  There is a season when the stone washes away.  There is a season to wind your way home. There is a season when pink kisses the sky good night.
