In these last in-between days of late summer and early fall, there are candles inside and outside.
I am having races with myself to finish projects, promising myself the possibility of new creative endeavors to start on.
Just because I have not begun a new year of "school" does not mean my body and mind does not continue to return every year to the idea of new beginnings in the fall. Meanwhile, the leaves are falling and I am arranging coffee dates. Times reserved for holding warm mugs in hands, talking with friends. Coffee talk is the adult version of recess on the playground.
As I take my walks I look forward with great expectation to the full on fall colors, while continuing to enjoy what is happening now.
Living immediately because our whole future lies in uncertainty. That is a quote from someone, but I'll be darned if I remember who.
I had to look it up, because I love it! It was Seneca who said that.
