What is it about that makes remberance so important in this one month of the year? I suppose you could say it is because important things have happened in this month but so important things happen all the time why November? November to rember. we rember in november. I sit because as the year draws to a close and the summer dies we start looking back getting ready to huddle down for the winter we start to have time to think, relect regret and learn?

So what can we learn from november, everything ends? Dreams and ideals are important but somtimes the cost of them is too high?
That somtimes when you least excpect somthing good might suddenly apppear?


Just a few random thoughts

    Winter has historically been the time for humans to turn to mental activities like reflection. Remember, our history has been much more agrarian than industrial. November, in the Northern Hemisphere, is the first month of inactivity after the harvest. Also, the weather makes hunting and gathering much more difficult. End of Part 1

    Also, traditionally evenings and jights have been the time for story telling and recounting history. In November, we are coming into winter with its longer nights. That means more time for sitting around the fire telling stories, etc.

    The reason so many people feel somewhat morose and.or depressed is that we no longer live by that calendar. We feel at a loss because there is no winter storytelling. Another "evil" brought on by technology.

    PEACE!!!
