Embracing Change

Walking in the grass
An autumn leaf said hello
And summer bowed out.

Sometimes
It seems as if things are getting on top of us
But are they really?
Or is it just us resisting the constant change around and within us?

The changing of the seasons, 
and maybe particularly autumn,
teaches us,
if we care to listen,
how to embrace change 
with serenity.

  3. Great thoughts! I agree, we let ourselves get stressed over how things seem to be changing and moving like we have no control... we are resisting when we need to let go! No sense in expending unnecessary energy over things we have no control over! Thanks Sandra!

  5. Thought provoking questions Sandra. I love how you expressed autumn's arrival and summer bowing out -- that is so graceful! I agree that our resistance to things creates unnecessary angst and if we could but let go...as gracefully as summer bows out to acknowledge autumn's turn on the stage...life would be so much simpler and easier. I'm going to remember this...and add it to my way of looking at life. Thanks for the inspiration! I'm visiting you from Sherry's and from your visit to my blog. Have a beautiful weekend!

  6. Love your thoughts on the coming in of fall. Wishing you a pretty fall weekend. We're getting rain today, but I won't complain we need it!

  7. Okay, Sandra, I give. :)

    You are so right! It's not Autumn, it's me.

    And how very pretty that leaf looks against your loafers, and your loafers against the emerald of the grass.

  9. Love these photographs, Sandra
    I like the changing of the seasons very much, but I must admit, I wish the winter was just a bit shorter. Ok, a whole lot shorter!!! :-)

    Happy Sunday to you!

  13. More wise words, Sandra. Fall has much to offer us, but winter can be a challenge -- just like the ups and downs of our lives. I like the contrast of your shiny shoes against the bright green grass.

  15. Your words really speak to me on a deeper level Sandra, thank you! I know - let go and allow .. .. but then the thought comes - but we must have 'some' semblance of control .. .. but, maybe not .. .. ..
    Have a wonderful week Sandra,

  16. Geeeeez, Sandra.....I think you were writing this to me. Change - must I embrace this change from glorious autumn to cold, dark and endless winter? The thought of winter fills me with dread....theatrical you say? Well, that's how I feel. Guess I must take a leaf, errr I mean page from your book :)
    Take care and happy week to you!!!!!

  18. Crazily it still feels like summer here, but it's all set to change tomorrow, with cold winds from the north ... I fear things may not be so serene in the next few days! But oh how I love it when it's wild and wet!

  19. Beautiful words and images. Being from New England I learned early to embrace change! I actually love the change of seasons...especially in March when I'm anxious for spring!
