Celebrating Autumn's beauty


Autumn's gorgeous variety of change. 
Each tree, each leaf each texture... 
changes, in its own time.



 Here, I Am.  
Grounded.  Connected. 
Thankful to be, and to be here.  
Thankful to witness...
the beauty of life... 
...and love of life.


Here, I stand.
Harmony around me...
....within me
...and beyond me.


Beauty
...in a variety of shapes...
sizes.... colors.... 
sounds....and scents



unique beauty....
everywhere...
even beneath the surface....
....and soil



...and more beauty
....embracing the sky.
Trees....
home to scampering...
....and winged creatures.


Branches reaching out....
in grace....
...arms open
welcoming...
embracing us with their beauty....
and essence...
at every turn.
Even when we're unaware
...we benefit
from the ever-giving presence of
nature's unfolding.
This stirs Gratitude-Joy within me
...a gift to my heart...
....to share
...throughout my days.

Here, I am.

Thank you.
