Oh, how I love this time of year!
I love how autumn leaves seem to glow from the inside out, making me wish I could enter into their pure, vibrant colors.
Seeing the leaves also blanketing the ground this morning reminded me of an experience I had many years ago in Lithia Park (when I lived in Ashland, Oregon).
One of my favorite spots to sit and contemplate was a picnic table next to the creek, which was shaded by a huge maple tree. Well, one autumn day I arrived at my spot and not only was the tree transformed by golden autumn leaves, but the picnic table and the ground in every direction was covered in golden autumn leaves. I felt like I had entered into a magical, golden world.
It was astral, an experience I’ll never forget.
