Sometime when the moon is high in the sky
And the October day becomes one in November
When frost kisses the pumpkin
Reasonable people may behave unreasonably
for which they may be forgiven.

MOTHER NATURE'S ROLE: OCTOBER SKYWATCH
The exciting discovery of what we are able to see and hear when two stars collide is a testament to scientific research and progress.
Yet, Mother Nature's role in the Universe is often overlooked or under appreciated by people, we who are most affected by her whims and actions.
So, yesterday without knowing what was happening in the Universe, I wrote:
"Tonight's reflection during my walk
Mother Nature seems more like herself
She gives us air that is crisp and smells like October
She chases haze and mist and gives us a clear sky
We realize the power of her beauty and enjoy her presence."

PAUL McCARTNEY'S STANDING STONE
More than the monthly calendar, Paul McCartney's symphonic poem
"Standing Stone" ends the summer season for me.
As I listen to it I am reminded of the lovely sounds of the summer seas with breezes soon to become threatening wind as nature prepares us and all creatures
for the change of season.
Paul McCartney's poem, written in 1997 with the London Symphony Orchestra, still speaks of human feelings that are moving and inspirational.

SEPTEMBER EASES INTO OCTOBER
The month of September eases into October taking with it horrific natural and man made events.
Even so we begin this season of harvest in thoughtful anticipation for the future as we come together, people to people to help each other.
Days grow shorter.
We recall history and memories joyful and painful to help light the way.
We sing the soulful melodies of our ancestors mixed with strong, impatient sounds of our young.
Suddenly, the piercing sounds of fear, suspicion and change interrupt our reverie.
For the moment we forget that we are human with the ability to think and overcome destructive forces.
So it is with all people, young and old, friend and foe in this country and elsewhere as autumn arrives .
