Back to School

September is traditionally a time of change: endings and new beginnings, back to school and university, maybe back to work, perhaps beginning new projects and next stages.

And of course it’s all rather different this year.

We hope you are staying well. There’s plenty going on at BWIS – hope to connect with you soon.

Inspiring Quotes

“Outside the leaves on the trees constricted slightly; they were the deep done green of the beginning of autumn. It was a Sunday in September. There would only be four. The clouds were high and the swallows would be here for another month or so before they left for the south before they returned again next summer.”
- Ali Smith, The Whole Story and Other Stories

“That old September feeling, left over from school days, of summer passing, vacation nearly done, obligations gathering, books and football in the air... Another fall, another turned page: there was something of jubilee in that annual autumnal beginning, as if last year's mistakes had been wiped clean by summer.”
- Wallace Stegner, Angle of Repose

And Finally ...

The breezes taste
Of apple peel.
The air is full
Of smells to feel-
Ripe fruit, old footballs,
Burning brush,
New books, erasers,
Chalk, and such.
The bee, his hive,
Well-honeyed hum,
And Mother cuts
Chrysanthemums.
Like plates washed clean
With suds, the days
Are polished with
A morning haze.

- John Updike, September
