a step into autumn


It's always just one step, at first.  Even though I love almost everything about autumn, my other foot still drags a little --lingering in the last shadows of summer light.  For some reason, I'm hesitant to empty my pockets of summer's riches even though I know I need to make room for the new treasures I will discover on the paths ahead.
    

This making room --this letting go, it's the very thing I need in order to see beauty in this moment, to receive the gifts of the present. 


There are so many new paths to explore.


There are new palates of colors to fall in love with.


And if I am willing to keep my eyes wide open along the way (not closed in a day-dreaming revelry of yesterday's warmth), I wonder what I might find?


    




May your emptied pockets be filled with new gifts of beauty today.
