Greetings Dear Reader,
As August begins my mind always turns to baseball. The All-Star break is over and the rush to
the fall classic is in full sprint. I
daily measure the chances of my beloved Braves winning the division. As of today, they are tied with the Phillies
for first. They have been at the top of
the division all summer.
Thinking about this time of the season brings to mind the
way in which I measure other passages of the year. Summer is waning. School begins in a month. Pool time has an expiration date. There will only be a few more days to enjoy
the water and the sun.
As this time wanes each year I look forward to the autumn
and the changes that come with it. I
find beauty in the seasons. I like
living where all four of them exist distinctly.
Those complaining about the humidity and heat today will be complaining
about the cold and snow in January.
I must move forward with the seasons. I cannot chase summer around the world or
live where the seasons do not matter. I
need to see my life reflected in the seasons and understand the cyclical
lessons that they teach. In finding the
truth of the seasons I understand the need to carry on.
That is what keeps my faith where it should be; focused on
the rolling days ahead. The seasons will
not wait for me and I must follow them.
My life will whether I wish it or not.
As the summer rounds third and heads toward autumn so does my life. I can feel that I am past the summer of my
journey. I hope I have many miles to go
but I had best have a light jacket handy.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
