In the previous articles we have talked about the winter and summer solstice, but today I come with an equinox: autumn. We all know this station, especially because of its polychrome. The trees in our environment are dressed in spectacular colors: green, yellow, orange, red, ochre and often indescribable. A warm wind will dance to all these colorful leaves that have formed the cycle as they fall to the ground. And there we will also find the fruits of the fall: mushrooms trying to pull their heads between the leaves, avellans of side hazelnuts, nuts, chestnuts, blackberries, pastures, etc. The fall's mountain laps are spectacular, stepping the colorful leaf carpets down the forest roads, throwing the sound of each step into the gap.

There will be few poets and painters who have not represented the images of the fall. If spring flowers represent love, fall sunsets are the most in love, fire and tibieza. If it's spring renewal and summer triumph, fall is maturity. Most fruits mature in autumn and sprouted seeds will be released the following year.

Everything seems to go through cycles, rhythmic cycles. Everything from astronomy to the smallest elements is done in cycles. The Moon spins the earth in 28 days and every month the same. I said it every month because at one time they were 28 days months, four weeks of seven days following the moon phases: new, rising, full moon and fourth wandering. Repeating them every month always the same. The seasons also form an annual cycle: spring, summer, fall and winter. Cycles that create a rhythm.

Some cycles are long, 25 years or centuries and others very short, such as the cycle of a butterfly that lasts a day.

Traditionally, seasons have been linked to different stages of human life, especially spring and fall. Many believe that this is only a literary or metaphorical relationship, but I think they are wrong.

Human beings are nature, they are part of nature and, just as nature itself constitutes an annual cycle, human beings have their different periods that make up their cycle and cycle. Man is a calmer and longer cycle, but it's a cycle. Therefore, the man has spring, which puts blood at a snout and fall, which collects blood more calmly to his viscera. Man's fall is not purely metaphorical.

When we go in autumn, scientists tell us about the day, the time and the minutes, but the man doesn't know when he comes in autumn. This is one of the most serious problems. Some believe that they are evergreen trees, although, in the case of men, the 70's and 75's have little heads and there go young people in a deception in the human forest. The society itself will inform you that the high youth have passed on to you.

Admission. Recognizing that we are already in fall and not forgetting the experience in spring and summer, feeling and living a warm, warm and beautiful fall. Autumn requires us to return to our interior, as the sweat of the trees returns from the branches to the veins and enriches the interior, seeing, listening and feeling everything around us.

It is the time to live with its own judgment and sense, the maturity of life. We are and do not walk through the branches, but we live everything inside. Autumn light is clean and full, not like a blind or roasted spring light for summer. Autumn has a lot of melancholy and is a good opportunity to get inside and analyze and delight everything we have.

Just as trees leave their leaves, we should also leave the ideas, relationships and, above all, the upheavals and other burdens that connect us so much. It is time to relieve unnecessary burdens.

Three or four are coming to mind that are worth it: getting a deeper link to nature, observing and enjoying its beauty; reinforcing dialogue or verbal boredom with your friend or friends, enriching the social relationship in tranquility; reading what we do good or like; and finally, take the time we need for us. Ah! And mushrooms, nuts, hazelnuts and mulberries look very good for health, even fall chamomile.
