Autumn

my run today turned into an awed, leisurely stroll. i love going to the park, but i guess i hadn't been in a while, so today i was completely surprised when i reached wyman park dell and was suddenly surrounded by golden, flaming beauty. (the photos hardly do it justice.)

moments like these, especially when they catch us by surprise, are so refreshing. moments of beauty -- breathtaking, surprising beauty that stops us in our tracks -- cause us to lurch out of our normal, preoccupied state, suddenly reminding us of all things forgotten.

Give thanks to Yahweh, call on his name;

make known among the nations what he has done.

Sing to him, sing praise to him;

tell of all his wonderful acts.

Glory in his holy name;

let the hearts of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.

Look to Yahweh and his strength; seek his face always.

Psalm 105
