I was out and about today...

and had occasion to see how SPECTACULARLY the trees have segued
into REDS and YELLOWS and  Caramels...
SIMPLY DELECTABLE !!
God's earth is one of constant, GLORIOUS surprise and poetic WAX...
and even though we can PREDICT how the seasons will FALL out...
year after year....
how they will look and feel...
ie. colors, shapes, etc....
I am constantly and profoundly at a loss....AGAPE...
at the sheer magnificence surrounding me....
so...my friends...
when life has gotten you down....
when you are convinced that your best moments are behind you....
that BEAUTY and GRACE have somehow
"LEFT THE BUILDING"..
THINK AGAIN....
walk outside....
the magic is upon you....around you....even inside of you...
just tap into it...
without superfluous fear or apprehension rejecting the notion...
INHALE the VERY autumn....revel in the splendor...
FEEL WHAT I FEEL....
make some hot chocolate....
get out your COZIEST, cashmere sweater...
its not behind you at ALL!!!
its right there....
IT'S RIGHT HERE....
served up to delight your senses....
on a platter of  PUMPKIN and PLATINUM....
....
