Contest-Autumn's Many Colorful Moons-sponsor -Daniel Henry Rodgers 9/9/26
Transition Whispers of Summer are slowly fading the geese are beginning to fly South away from the low suns with more colorful sunsets as gray skies and longer nights will begin the flame of each fire grows higher to give greater warmth from the cooler wind that crosses the plains as seasonal transition has begun where gusts of wind blow across a painted plain of gold and the last shadows of buffalo stand on the horizon before their journey into a valley of Winter's breath Reflection Autumn is the time of gathering where the elders share knowledge with the children around campfires and dances are done for Mother Earth to give power to our spirits before Winter's isolation filled with snow covered landscapes and bitter cold as survival is passed on from this gathering Prepared This season of change is when the wise man prepares to have his spirit tested when there is little food and life dies as the days grow shorter, colder more bitter and becomes a long timeless balance between the strength of the spirit and Mother Earth so, our footsteps can find the Spring after the journey through Autumn and Winter
