a perfect autumnal day: getting up when the air is still slightly chilly, but feeling it get warmer as you go through your morning routine, nursing your glass of iced coffee as beads of perspiration from it travel to your palm, knowing it's the last few days of drinking cold coffee as you will switch to a steaming, hot cup as the weather changes, taking a light jacket out with you wherever you go, so that you are prepared for all possible weathers for the day, jumping on crunchy leaves as soon as you spot some and hearing them make that satisfying sound, always ending the day with some chinese takeout as you binge on Gilmore Girls for the nth time

The Equinox is the perfect occasion to recall the Mayan architectural genius which is expressed twice a year at Chichen Itza

At each Equinox the shadow of the steps of the pyramid of Kukulkan is carried on the grand staircase and gives the illusion that the Serpent-god is descending from the temple.

Autumn gathers in the fruits of the earth

With some the year begins in March, with the advent of spring; with others it commences in September, when autumn gathers in the fruits of the earth; others make January, in midwinter, their starting point The difference between the “Old Style” and the “New Style” involves two celebrations, as a rule, of Easter, two observances of New Year’s Day, while Christmas is celebrated three times, the Armenian Church having combined the commemoration of that festival with the more ancient festival of the Epiphany. For one section of the community, moreover, the day of rest is Sunday, for another Saturday, for yet another the day of special religious services is Friday. All these differences are not matters seen at a remote distance of place or time; they are not curious items of archaeological lore. On the contrary, they enter into the practical experience of your workaday life, compelling you to see things from various points of view, and to conform with the ways of humanity in manifold directions.

Mohammedanism and Christianity

Then what a diversified scene is spread before the mind by the variety of religious faiths professed here. A native of Constantinople put the case before the Parliament of Religions, held at the Chicago Exposition, thus: “We have a Parliament of Religions every day in Constantinople. ” The faith of Israel, Mohammedanism, and Christianity, are here matched against each other in great organised communities, with the marks of the controversies and wars which form so large a part of the history of this Eastern world fresh and clear upon them.

Here are the sects and schools of thought which divide Islam; the Sunnites who maintain the legitimacy of all the Caliphs, the Shiites who hold that Ali, the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet, was his first lawful successor, and who gather annually in the court of the Valid& Khan in Stamboul, to cut and gash themselves, like their brethren in Persia, as they mourn the murder of Ali’s sons, Hussein and Hassan; the Howling and the Dancing Dervishes who hope to apprehend the Divine in their ecstasy, the Bektashs Dervishes, more rationalistic, more tolerant, more latitudinarian.

A poem by D. H. Lawrence

Autumn Rain

The plane leaves fall black and wet on the lawn;

the cloud sheaves in heaven’s fields set droop and are drawn

in falling seeds of rain; the seed of heaven on my face

falling — I hear again like echoes even that softly pace

heaven’s muffled floor, the winds that tread out all the grain

of tears, the store harvested in the sheaves of pain

caught up aloft: the sheaves of dead men that are slain

now winnowed soft on the floor of heaven; manna invisible

of all the pain here to us given; finely divisible falling as rain.

D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930)
