THIS GOLDEN TIME
“If summer is a symphony, September is a Minuet.
There is a delicacy as the first leaf falls gracefully from a tree;
There is a quetude in our spirits as twilight descends ever so much
Earlier. We recall how lovely it was to walk in late afternoon, the
First time we needed a sweater. And we gather in during this golden
time to our private places, and to our intimate thoughts."
Victoria 1997
While taking a moment to look through the
September issues of Victoria, I was struck by this
quote and the collection of photos chosen.
There is something about this time of year, like
The twilight of the evening. An in-between time
Where we can:
Press memories in our mind
Bring to home & heart enchantment
Preserve what is dear
Savor the waning summer and coming Autumn
Take a moment to retreat, reflect and revive
Treasuring that moments in the past are
Memories that feel like the day before yesterday.

“Come walk with me,
There’s only thee
To bless my spirit now…
So closer would my feeling twine
Because they have no stay but thine.”
