Changing Seasons

The first day of Fall has always been one of my favorite days. This year, I ventured to the Common Ground Fair on a Saturday and ushered in Autumn with familiar comfort. Being there with someone who had never experienced an agricultural fair before added to the day for sure and brought the reminder that the shift in seasons brings with it changes of all kinds for people, animals and plants alike. Sometimes embracing those changes is a struggle that seems insurmountable, but the natural flow of change and the rhythm of the seasons wins out in the end every time. Being still enough to find the truth is the trick.

The flock has grown to uncomfortable numbers, and letting go is hard but necessary; the winnowing process is never fun. More to come on new homes and autumnal occurrences as the salty shepherd finds the writing rhythm again.
