even for the beginning of October
as autumn progresses toward winter.
I love all the seasons
but this time of year
is perhaps my favorite.
I don't look at autumn as the season
before a cold and harsh winter
but rather as a peaceful, joyful ending
of yet another glorious, growing year.
"Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature's night.
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray;
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light!
my chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee."
- Charles Wesley
