Leaf – Treading

AtCSA!

~ Bonaro W. Overstreet ~

“October is a symphony ofpermanence and change.”

~ Albert Camus ~

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”

~ Robert Frost ~

“Two roads diverged in a

wood, and I – I took the one less

traveled by,And that has made all the difference.”

~ George Eliot ~

“Delicious autumn!  My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.”

~ John Bailey ~

“falling leaveshide the pathso quietly”

Autumn is a season followed immediately by looking forward to spring. – Doug Larson

~ George Cooper ~

“October gave a party;

The leaves by hundreds came -The Chestnuts,

Oaks, and Maples,And leaves of every name.”

A wind has blown the rain away and blown the sky away and all the leaves away, and the trees stand. I think, I too, have known autumn too long.”

~ e. e. cummings ~

~ Fr. Caspar Rehrl ~

“ As I continued to look around, I discovered spring after spring…

“ . . . I took out my holy water bottle and blessed them all praying that God might keep these springs flowing to quench the thirst of travelers.”

“ . . . Oh, how I wish that the Sisters of St. Agnes might someday live on this beautiful tract of land watered by these prolific springs.”

“Autumn asks that we prepare for the future —that we be wise in the ways of garnering and keeping. But it also asks that we learn to let go—to acknowledge the beauty of sparseness.” ~Bonaro W. OverstreetGrave of Mother Agnes Hazotte

“Now Autumn's fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt.” ~William Allingham
