September 29
Certain sounds and fragrances come through more clearly in autumn than any other time. It is always satisfying to take a thermos of coffee and sweet roll and dis appear into the countryside just to sit and absorb the unending wonders of nature.
Beneath the bent grasses in the meadow is new growth of plants that will survive the winter. Mullein that is called Indian tobacco spreads its broad furry leaves and will grow low until spring. All along the paths are wild turkey tracks and tracks that appear to be small palm prints but belong to the raccoon. Red tail hawks ride the currents overhead and a flock of gulls turn silver as they move swiftly. It is autumn, but it is even more. This is life that gives us peace.
Holy Mother Earth. the trees and all nature are witnesses to your thoughts and deeds.
