Autumn equinox is the time to reflect upon life.
If we have enjoyed a bountiful harvest, we express our thanks.

If the year has been difficult so far, then we are happy for what we do have and resolve to do better once the chance comes. The appreciation of life does not require wealth or plenty.

It requires only gratitude for the beauty of the world. –Daily Tao
