Three Rivers threeriversnews.com Commercial-News OPINION “Along the Pilgrim’s Path” Nancy Boyd And the forecast is … Fall is in the air, its evidence lies in the coolness as it winds through the breeze. As the leaves rustle, they have begun to fall ever so slightly. The sun dodges in and out, minute by minute, wavering it seems between summer and fall. The leaves are preparing to let go. It seems so much easier for them than for us. For them it is natural, yet we refuse to allow ourselves to give in that easily. That might feel like giving up and that is most often against our nature. Oddly, the greatest beauty to behold in leaves is just before their letting go. We might wonder if the same is true for us in our earthly journey. But then, we would have to acknowledge the painful truth of loss. The bright blue skies embracing the white pillow like clouds are a part of the process we call fall. Some have already begun to foresee winter and for them, fall has become the precursor to the months that lie ahead. What then do we miss when our minds race to what comes next? In retrospect, as we age, we recognize more readily how quickly our lives have passed, moment by moment. Perhaps growing up in the Midwest has planted the seeds of the seasons deep within for some. I personally love living in the snow globe of the winter months. Nothing like such a scene to make one embrace the comforts of home.
