days drawing in

I love Autumn. It resonates with beauty. The trees dropping leaves, those remaining a wonderful shade of brown. New views emerging when the foliage recedes, opening up forgotten pasts. The circle of life goes on.
Look around as you walk. Look up and not down and reflect on this blessing from the wonderful John O'Donohue

"May your body be blessed.
May you realize that your body is
a faithful and beautiful friend of your soul.
And may you be peaceful and joyful and
recognize that your senses are sacred thresholds.
May you realize that holiness is mindful gazing,
feeling, hearing and touching.
May your senses gather you and bring you home.
May your senses always enable you to celebrate
the universe and the mystery and possibilities
in you presence here.
May the Eros of the Earth bless you"
