FALL 2018: TIME FOR REFLECTION & RENEWAL?

Weather on the calendar or in our faith, we seem to sense this is a period to reflect and examine the pattern of our life.

We may not be as astute as Mother Nature who provides trees with the ability to turn leaves or  who creates  nervousness  in Animals and  birds as they sense another season or storm coming but we feel it.

 Whatever faith or custom or ritual we have, or don't have, it is a time of renewal.  We feel a need to better understand our self sometimes through memory alone.

Our children begin school.  Our family moves farther away or comes closer.  We warm to challenges.

We don't seem as wary of different faces. We are strong with a universal sense of purpose.

We prepare for autumn while knowing it will be followed by winter's chill finally followed by spring.  We measure our responsibility toward this planet, the place we call home.

In stillness, we are called upon to reflect on our actions.   We are pledged to behave as warriors to protect all that we know is right.  We will do so through our votes and the laws of this great nation!

May the time ahead be good to all of us and to all those we hold dear.
