September

"In the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowning glory of the year, bringing us the fruition of months of thought and care and toil.
And at no season, safe perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such superb colour effects as from August to November."
- Rose G. Kingsley, The Autumn Garden, 1905

Conversation around the kitchen table today centered around the garden: hopes for more ripe tomatoes, why the carrots taste so woody, what to do with so much corn.

The garden is ripe with produce and promise. And on our back deck the morning glories are bursting with color. Flowers seem to be reaching for the last rays of warmth and light, and so, are magnificent just before the end of their season in the sun.

Paul said, "They've got a deadline." And our garden is glorious in its attempt to reach it.

Life, today, is truly a miracle.

How easy

Many of the Sunpoint community of friends and neighbors continue to read and reflect on Tolle's writings.

After today's reading I reflected on how easy it is for me to focus on someone else's issues instead of my own. And do I ever have habits and behaviors to change.

Today, I am making the attempt to stay in the present and embrace the changes I know I need to make.
