Quote by Hal Borland

Summary

This quote describes a fleeting moment of realization while taking a walk during late autumn.

The mention of the leaves practically gone and the setting sun symbolize the transience of life and the importance of appreciating and being present in the precious moments that can slip away swiftly if not noticed and cherished.
