the leaves are falling down, such a beautiful sound

a few days ago i was enjoying the fall colors and pondering how i love autumn even though it is essentially the time when everything dies. as i thought about leaves dying, i realized that i usually enjoy it when things end. i find great pleasure in finishing off a bottle of shampoo or changing the month of my calendar. i haven't yet decided whether i enjoy the actual death or being able to start anew. i'll have to see how i feel in the spring.
