There is something beautiful and revitalizing about October.
When the leaves fall the world is surrendering.
Letting go of the pieces and parts that can no longer serve in a positive way.
Trees hold strong to their core and survive the storms;
but every good tree knows that as time goes by,
the leaves will come back and we all get to start again.

How beautifully leaves grow old.
How full of light and color are their last days.
John Burroughs
October is the fallen leaf,
but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen.
It is the distant hills once more in sight,
and the enduring constellations above them once again.
Hal Borland
That lesson?
Accept what is,
Let go what was, and
Have faith in what will be.
