Water curling into waves on a deserted beach area, winter wisps whispering within the water: autumn is calling, beaches are empty of people, water temperatures cooling. Will be freezing next month, will be covered with cracked ice blocks, running trail paths will be salted, and only memories of warm beach sunshine will be had.
Birds flying south for the winter, turtles retreating into the warmth of their shells. Ice tipped dune grass will crunch under footsteps, and bitter cold wind will sail through thinly lined winter jackets. To be like an Eskimo wrapped in furs, pelts of warm hair, chewing whale blubber as bubble gum, hands covered in thick gloves, briskly walking a few blocks and freezing to the bone.
Autumn: a warning sign that we must prepare for the inevitable stealthily approaching winter months. Yellow leaves from trees falling: danger signs, not to welcome the cold icy blasts soon to come. Shofar of the new year has sounded a scream of help for our prayers of safety and security to be answered.
