November 2009: Autumn Leaves
Vous faites partie de mon histoire
Et quelquefois le soir
J’ouvrirai l’album de ma mémoire
A bientôt donc sous d’autres cieux
Moins capricieux, plus détendus
L’Adieu comme le reste étant illusion
Mieux vaut un Au revoir
et qui sais….
Je vous laisse l’ultime mot de l’histoire
- Nicole
Dear Lynne,
A few weeks ago as I distributed my publicity for my ComcolorsTraining
I had the image of me sprinkling seeds in my garden. I don’t
get much pleasure from this as from experience the results are very
uncertain.
Sometimes 2 or 3 years later a flower or plant from my sprinkling
or bulb planting pushes through the earth. My joy is like a child
on Christmas morning. How did that get there? I’m sure I planted
it in another part of the garden. Must be the birds or mice or goblins!!
I stop the questioning and take the time to appreciate the power
of nature and time.
So I looked at the different people accepting my papers for this
new training and I listened to some of their reactions.
“I admire you at your age, can’t be easy starting something
new as you need so much energy” - young student of 22 years
old. Obviously I’m in my autumn season and the winter is coming
soon. No big deal every gardener knows it’s the best time
for planting.
“I wish I had the guts to do something new. I’ve been
dreaming of it for years but I don’t have the energy. I’ve
decided to prepare for my retirement”. Government worker,
the same age as me. Once again I must be in the autumn season, no
comment!
“Great idea I’m sure it will work. With your experience
and motivation it’ll happen. - Just a matter of patience and
perseverance” - 62 year old retired Doctor. Sounds like I’ve
had a few autumns but I still have a few before me.
Being Scottish I’ve come to the conclusion most products
are best when matured. So as I continue to plant for the future
I accept that some days are not meant for planting but just taking
strength. This seems to answer why I’m lagging a little commercially
speaking but growing stronger day by day, like the seeds in my garden.
I am now quite excited as to when and where the Comcolor Flowers
will spring up - Eager to see my garden, no doubt in the autumn
or winter years of my life. As to how or when I will leave this
earth, can’t see the point in wasting time over the question.
Live each day as your last, you can’t be taken by surprise
and usually have fun! More importantly, if I leave some people with
happy memories and have helped even one person in their lives then
it’s all be worthwhile.
Now its time to wish everyone a happy Winter !

Lynne,
I like the autumn colors. I was told I am an autumn person although
I was born late April. Who knows?
I like the warmth of those colors in the leaves while in the trees!
Then sweeping them when fallen, waiting for them to fall is a never
ending story like they don’t finish dying….
I guess this is like life, beautiful and then we can not control
what is making us die and when we choose to leave that life there.
There is also a lot of peace around taking care of the dead leaves
on the ground like there is a peace after weeding our own secret
garden … but this is a short satisfaction because there are
always more to sweep…
And after the autumn there is the winter with cold and iced wind
at least on this side of the world, illusion????
Bisous,
-Anne
Très joli.. J'aime bien aussi
"les sanglots longs des violons de l'automne
blessent mon coeur d'une langueur monotone"
