There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring.

the little new that each man gets from life is very costly,
and the only heritage he has to leave.
Ernest Hemingway ~

It's always a wonder to me;
How so many of those dead-brown leaves
Can survive the on-slot of autumns blow;
Stubbornly holding on to their height,
And the upper-hand of their prominence,
While refusing to let go...
The days ahead will yet finish the task
With the cold-harsh winds of New England fall
Till there are few survivors left of a season's past.
Leaving only the bare limbs of hope,
Reaching for the season ahead...
