We're so blessed to live in a place where we can experience four seasons in a year. And September is very special, for sure. Every autumn my mouth falls open at the day by day miracle of leaves changing colour -- the ashes suddenly yellow, a stand of young maples, where only one is transformed from green to an orange that's almost pink. Sometimes, when a single branch has turned to flame, I think it looks as though a dragon has breathed on a tree,.
Ah dragons. Isn't it interesting that these mythical creatures are so popular in popular fiction right now? A lot of the dragon characters are more sympathetic than evil, too. Which begs the question whether they need to be fought and overcome, or merely tamed.
It seems to me that one of the effects of our improved, instant, world-wide communication is that we're given the possibility to look at evil and meet it face to face. Whatever shapes or forms these dragons assume, let's hope to find the courage to deal with them in the right way.
