"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.
