Fall

The word 'fall' traces it's origins through the old English faellen and the Old Norse fall, words having the meaning "to fall from a height".  The term came into use in 16th Century England as a contraction of expressions like "fall of the leaf" and "fall of the year".

There are so many ways to fall - overboard; to pieces; in love; to sleep...and there is that famous fall of Alice's.  I love this season for it's feeling of transformation; for that last bright flare of the candle before the dark of winter... 

To Fall.
