For the beginning of September

Early this morning, I received the following text, a fitting reflection for the end of the 'summer month':

Welcome Back

Fall is opening its window to cool
While hot breezes slowly slide from
Drowsy blooms and warm memories;
Lazy pastimes turn into busy hum.

So raise the flags of beginning again,
Walk paths that take a new chance,
Ask myriad questions; marvel at tiny;
Child discoveries, they ask us to dance.

No matter where, or what, the Spirit
Changes our energies amazingly on cue,
Each night Sabbath sleep heals and calms;
No matter the season, life welcomes you!

Give the holy One who fashioned Creation
Centre place in planning, let outcome belong
To love's Spirit; and abandon ourselves to
God's grace; be ready to trust in the song.

In all your days ahead,
May the Spirit of God surround you,
Keep your love unbound
Abide in your Faith, Joy and Peace!

S. Diane Trollope, 2011
