"A September Morning" (Image & Text Copyright Wylddane Productions, LLC)
This morning dawned cooler than those just past. The French door is closed against the early chill, yet warmth and beauty fill the wee cottage. The gentle notes of Pachelbel’s Canon drift through the rooms, a counterpoint to the quiet stillness outside. My coffee mug, fragrant and hot, rests close at hand—a simple panacea to the senses: the aroma soothing, the taste enlivening, the warmth grounding.
Through the window, I see the rhythms of autumn unfolding: chrysanthemums ablaze with gold and amber, and beyond them, a carpet of fallen leaves whispering of change. The beauty of this morning moves in harmony with words that stay with me:
"Life is not a single experience. Life is always changing, and every day of your life...every moment of every day...represents something new, which can be used in uncountable new ways if you decide to view it that way." ~Dr. Wayne Dyer
Nature teaches this truth with effortless grace. The seasons turn, each one bringing its own lessons: blossoms yielding to fruit, light giving way to shadow, warmth surrendering to frost. All are part of a greater whole, equally necessary for balance. As I honor the cycles of the earth, so I learn to honor the cycles within my own life—moments of growth, moments of letting go, moments of quiet reflection.
Sometimes I notice these lessons clearly. Sometimes I stumble past them, distracted. Yet always I return to the rhythm, remembering that what matters most is not perfection but willingness. The willingness to see each moment as new, as alive with possibility, as a gift.
And so, on this autumn morning, I pause in gratitude. I send peace into the day, trusting that it will ripple outward into the world. The cycles continue, the music plays on, and a new day begins.
“Be willing to be a beginner every single morning.” ~Meister Eckhart
