"You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind,
but you can change yourself.
That is something you have charge of."
Jim Rohn.
In the subtle shift of tides,
a slight coolness begins to settle over the surface,
the green of the summer grass begins to become tinged and spotted with a crisp fading shade of brown and tan.
The leaves on the trees,
droop
in an obvious removal of nutrients,
they hang their heads down now,
leaves curling on the ends,
colors fading,
painting the world with their brilliant shaded art for
just a few days
before falling to the ground,
crisp and brown,
to
become part of the cycle...
crunched,
trodden,
recycled if you will.
The coolness moves over me...
I feel a shift inside that I can't quite explain...
old stuff begins to fall away,
dropping off,
finally going away,
I feel inside
a surge of hope,
something...
ever so slightly is shifting
as the
rhythm of the world
moves forward.
There is an energy inside
that I haven't felt before,
it churns,
excites me about life,
prods me toward the Universal Beckon
that I've tried to ignore.
I can't stop the seasons,
can't change the world overnight,
the wind blows where it may,
and
circumstances
change from moment to moment.
As the new fall seasons
comes rushing toward me,
I too am changing,
changing in ways I can't explain.
I can't wait to see the glory of my new color,
not sure the world is quite ready for it.
But
for today,
I rest in the rhythm of the change
and
embrace it.
Seasonal shifts...
they
come and they go....
we can embrace them...
or
ignore them...
Today
I choose to feel the turn of tide,
smile in the midst of the cool air,
savor the colorful leaves beginning to splash the sky,
and
I wait,
for
that thing,
that thing inside
to unfold
and
color
the world just a bit more.
Have a great day,
Be a great day,
and
change the world,
color the world,
embrace the world,
where ever you stand.
Hugs and Blessings
