Autumn in October

Lifting my face to soak in the sunshine

And breathe the scent

Things around us change so quickly

And so often

Without opposition

And I wonder...

Why is it in our nature to resist change?

Clearly God intended for the things on His earth

To change

I hear the sound of a mighty breeze

It refreshes

Terrifies some

Is what terrifies us perhaps for our benefit?

I think of the cross and all its redemptive power

Question answered

Crowds of those who get to enjoy

The clouds, the rain, the stars, the sea...

I sat for a bit to eat an apple

In the sunny afternoon

There's no sweeter thing

Than falling, crunchy leaves

The sounds

And smells

And warmth

Of life

A life in the hands of jealousy
