Morning rain has just ceased, leaving behind the blessed scent of damp autumn earth and leaves. Last year was so dry here on the farm, the leaves were brittle, brown, and crumbled under the slightest of breezes. As I walk this morning over the familiar trail, I’m greeted with crimson, gold, and fiery orange. Watching the mountains around me change so brilliantly reminds me just how much I longed for a true autumn to fall upon us. We tend to assume life will always follow a routine, but Mother Nature too can be as unpredictable as these times we live in. This quote resonated today, for we think we know how our days will carry out, and yet, we can never hold that power. Life is unpredictable, but no matter, it always holds moments of bliss, of momentary awareness, a newness for us to explore. Take a moment today to discover the untamed around you.
