Where I live, autumn is a busy time for bears, as they forage heavily for sustenance before hibernating – extreme harvesting followed by extreme resting.

According to Jeung San Do’s teachings, the universe follows the cycle of birth-growth-harvest-rest (生長殮藏) or spring-summer-autumn-winter. Cosmic autumn is a time of returning to oneness, a time in which humanity harvests its diverse experiences and accomplishments to create a global civilization of harmony.
