A song-filled follow up to my earlier Autumn post:

-- That post was on the passage of time + intro to courageous Joan Chittister, who’s not afraid to speak TRUTH to power.

This post offers song about the passage of time...

First, a reflection from another blogger and then some appropriate tunes to mark the passing of the season…

From another blogger…

Autumn, Please Don’t Go, Baby. I Want You to Stay Forever.

Tunes about the Changing of the Seasons

Who Knows Where the Time Goes – Judy Collins

Circle Game – Joni Mitchell

--A commenter said, “My heart still aches when I listen to this song. It was my lullaby as a child. Thanks mom for making sure I turned into the best man I could be.”

Turn, Turn, Turn – Byrds

Pete Seeger, Turn Turn Turn 5 New Verses!

--Singing in NYC in 2012 at age 93, Pete on his 12-string shares for the first time 5 new verses that were written by his wife for their young children.

--Words are from the Book of Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3

Changes – David Bowie

Uncle John’s Band – Grateful Dead

“It's the same story the crow told me; it's the only one he knows.

Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go.

Wo, oh, what I want to know, where does the time go?”

The Wheel – Grateful Dead

“The wheel is turning and you can't slow down

You can't let go and you can't hold on

You can't go back and you can't stand still

If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will”
