Falling Into Transitions

As I drove through the countryside headed to a little town in Upstate New York, just south of Canada, I found myself in awe of nature's vibrant display. Peering through the window looking at what seemed to be rapidly moving scenery, I was reminded that seasons change. It is inevitable and constant. The funny thing is that just as seasons make transitions, we do too. While change can be difficult, depending on our outlook, it can be beautiful as well. As leaves turn from bold green hues to varied colors with magnificent depth, we know they are preparing to wither away into a new form -- thousands of dust particles on which we will eventually walk. In this transition they make way for new life that will come forth in a new season. What occurs in nature is but a reflection of what transpires in life.
