The other morning I had a special stop to make on my way to work. I was early for once in my life, so I got to spend a minute in the park, to eat my bagel and drink my coffee in peace.
The leaves on the trees will all be gone soon.
Soon, only bare branches. We'll all forget what it feels like when everything is awake, just like we do every year.
But cycles are what keeps us moving, and it's how we periodically shed all the stuff that we don't need, and move into new times of excitement and potential.
Potentially, this will be a wonderful fall for me and you. Dreams might come true, things might get a little easier, make more sense.
Maybe not. It's only realistic to realize the other shoe can fall anytime.
But I'm not one of those people who feels it hanging over my head. I'm too easily excited by little things to always be noticing the weight.
Life is all around you all the time. "Live it!" More than a joke.
Other people are living it too.
