Awe Moment #7

One of the best things about Utah are the seasons! Earlier this week I was really admiring the beauty of fall. The leaves are changing colors and falling to the ground. When it's cloudy, the contrast of the sky and the leaves really takes my breath away. Then i thought...wait, we think that fall is so pretty because of the colors, but the leaves are only changing colors because they are dying.

Death usually is not a beautiful thing, but in this case, it is. Dying is a part of life but it is not something most people look forward to. On the other hand, people look forward to fall, which is a symbol of death. Without death, there would not be regrowth, it is something that needs to happen. It can be viewed as a negative or positive step depending on the cultural lense of the individual. It's amazing how little things can bring about such broad thoughts. We have those little reminders in life to open our minds and make us think outside of our box. Nature is art created by the earth and being able to enjoy it everday makes everyday an AWE MOMENT.
