Seasons Meeting ~

they touch

on the edge of the woods

sharing their color and light

summer and autumn moments

*  *  *

It is the summer's great last heat,
It is the fall's first chill: They meet.

Impending ~

"Now autumn's fire

burns slowly along the woods

and day by day

the dead leaves fall and melt."

William Allingham

*  *  *

the woodbine is turning

one of the signs

 of autumn's approach

Seasoned ~

leaving behind all

that hinders

for a higher good

"words and feathers

are easily scattered but not

easily gathered up"

anon

*  *  *
Let your speech at all times
 be gracious (pleasant and winsome),
 seasoned [as it were] with salt,
 [so that you may never be at a loss]
 to know how you ought to answer anyone
 [who puts a question to you].
Colossians 4:6

Grace For The Journey ~

(a little click will enhance the view)
May you have grace

for the journey

 and

 a gentle wind to carry you.

 May you know love 

in never-ending

 supply.

May the prayer in

 your heart bring solace.

May the seed you have sown

bear strong witness.

And

may the Lord incline His ear

and listen to your cry.

Autumn ~

how beautifully

leaves

grow old

how full

of

light and color

are their last days

John Burroughs

Kindness Leads ~

hiding

hiding

hiding

until

the

kindness

of God

led me to change

free at last

~ ~ ~

God is kind, but he's not soft.

In kindness he takes us firmly by the hand

and

leads us into a radical life-change.

Romans ~ TMB
