Its actually started to become depressing by looking at something that's suppose to make you feel bright and happy. It feels like just yesterday that I was looking out and it was all beautiful and just the vibe you got by being able to see the fish in within the rays of sunlight going threw the water.
Now dad isn't even watering the grass anymore, and is about to make the change of putting the fish back into the garage for winter. The colors are so gloom, and makes me realize how fast time is going. We don't even realize how fast its all going by us. The years before I would just look outside and see it as one day It being summer, then in a blink of an eye it was almost winter.. where did the time go? Since observing, that has changed for me.. I get to see the everyday changes that I might not even realize at the time. But as days keeping breezy by, I realized something major. That after the climax of all of the beauty being the best it could be this year, came the slow changes. Everyday its slowly dying,
As the water is getting darker its harder to see the fish |
Leafs are falling in the water, and rotting away before we get the chance to clean them out. It's making the water darker than normal, and makes it look colder outside. The trees are starting to gloomp down, why do they have to look so sad? We had to unplug the water pump for one of the ponds because it was getting plugged by everything that was getting into the water.
Its all happening so fast. I'm not ready for the pond to stand still for the winter.
It makes me realize that reality is kicking in. It stands out to me very well that everything has its beginning, climax, and end. Sometimes the end gets restarted, and it goes threw the cycle as many times as it can. With the pond, we go through it every year. Its a guidance of what time of the year it is.. and depending on that determines the life I'm living at the moment. For the one's that aren't a cycle, like amongst other things in life. Those things that just end in life, that you never get to see again.. either be a shame or a blessing. I feel blessed that for the past couples years I'v got to see the pond go threw its changes threw the years. I'm excited now that I'll be noticing other things about the pond that I haven't before. Since before I never really looked at the pond while it was looking not at its best.
That's exciting for me, because it's a small breakthrough. That even when something may be dying, you still have to give it attention.. Life is still with it, its not lost or gone yet. You cant give up on it. Because its still beautiful, you just have to look at in a different way now. That's what I'm trying to do. I don't want to be the person who stops looking just because its starting to look different.
I try to tell myself to notice the beauty in fall's changes. I try to tell myself it's not death; it's a moment of rest, of regeneration.
ReplyDeleteThere's a point where one realizes that life has a beginning, middle, and end. The thought of it makes me sad as well but its how life starts all over again, with ones death, brings another's birth. I liked how you added in that a person should not give up on life because its beautiful in its own way. Great blog :)
ReplyDeleteI love the detail you put when you explained everything changing. I used to look at things a different way when they started to look a little different. After reading this blog I realized that I shouldn't see them differently, I should just have a different prospective on it.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you incorporate the way the pond is life and it changes and your willing to take your time to watch it along the way. And i wish I had a pond in my backyard. Lucky :)
ReplyDeleteI like the way you put in great details about how time is going really fast. I like how beautiful your pond looks and how you describe the leafs falling into the water it's amazing. Great post!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blog (: It is sad how time is passing by so quickly and how from time to time we notice the things around us. The colors of Summer are barely a hint in what now is Fall. It is also sad how dark the grass and trees are getting.
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with your blog. Everything about it. I agree with you, its sad when something so beautiful changes. Amazing post.
ReplyDeleteI like how you started this post with one single powerful sentence. It was very well done! Good job!
ReplyDeleteI really like the connection you made with the time flying by so fast. I agree with you. It seemed like yesterday i was starting my freshmen year with all those nervous feelings.
