Autumn's blessings.

"Autumn .... asks that we prepare for the future - that we be wise in the ways of garnering and keeping.  But it also asks that we learn to let go - to acknowledge the beauty of sparseness."

I'm afraid I don't know who wrote this, but it makes the right point about the new season.  The days now seem to have a pause, a stillness, a mature quality - a new shape to our day.  So let us make time to silently reflect on the glories of summer, allow ourselves to release them, and to enjoy the tranquillity of the new season.

If you don't know it already, let me give you the short Serenity Prayer:-

     "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the
       things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

Om Shanti,

Brenda Brain.
