the scent of a promised change,
I feel something stir inside me.
Hopefulness?
Gratitude?
Openness?
Whatever it is, it’s welcome.”

Practice Nonviolence
Morning Frost on Leaves “The more we practice nonviolence in our words, thoughts and actions
the more peaceful will be our inner state.”My sister and I are leaving for Phoenix today. Going to spend thanksgiving with our parents and our sister and favorite brother-in-law. Hopefully there will not be any frost down there. We should be coming back next weekend unless we somehow lose our return tickets.

A Story of Fallen Leaves
Birch Leaf “There is something incredibly nostalgic and significant about the annual cascade of autumn leaves.” – Joe L. Wheeler
Each fall I watch the leaves change colors and fall from the trees. A gust of wind blows and leaves are separated from the branches. It’s beautiful to observe. Yet, these leaves fall onto sidewalks, pavement or rock beds. We rake them into piles and bag them, preventing them from living their full life cycle of decomposition, a vital part of nature.
