fall part II

so it came for me. wednesday the 8th. and as i predicted, it crept up on me and then BAM! a wave of cool breeze swept across my face and my body. and with that breeze came peaceful thoughts. calming. encouraging. healing. changing.

so i kicked off my flip flops and stood in my front yard under our giant oak tree, feeling the cool earth beneath my wriggling toes. and for a moment, i was connected to everything that is beautiful and pure in this world. quieting my mind, i let the internal jumble fall away until there was nothing but me, the warmth of the sun on my skin, and my breeze.

hope everyone can experience such a day...

the fall...

...i feel it coming. you know the day, that one perfect day, when the shift happens. the slow, subtle change occurs. the day that tips the balance of the scales inevitably away from one season and toward the next. summer to fall. it's magical.

almost every year since i was six, i've been aware of "the" day. it catches you off guard, and sometimes you can be enjoying the pleasure of the sweetest breeze for minutes or hours before you've realized what's happened. the sky in all its colorful glory smiles down upon you. the very trees seem to be whispering to you.  and without warning, you realize that you are in it. you are in a perfect moment. 

i feel it coming. not today, maybe not tomorrow. but soon.

i can't wait.
