another morning




Awakening I saw first
the same ash tree
the same blue sky
just the tree has shed half of its leaves
the birch trees also are crumpled rusty
dropping one leaf at a time
slowly, slowly
winter is comming
though human calendar

showed autumn started just two days ago
do the trees know more than the electronic
weather metrology?
The trees don't push buttons
they feel....

heaven speaks




It's the first thing I see as I open my eyes in the morning. Summer is leaving. We did not have a summer as we were accustomed to. It did not follow the forecaster diagrams (ha-ha -electronics). The last 15 days have had sun, but it was not as warm as we expect in a summer. Trees slowly start dropping leaves, though they are not in a most colourful autumn attire yet.

This ash tree outside my window is rushing to drop its leaves. Some how it does not make me enjoy it - thoughts about winter - trees will have another spring - will I? All this writing does not mean anything to other people. Life goes on, but I have to notice it. The aging makes me wonder - what next? When? Waiting for what? Hoping for what? Trying to keep my heart beat normal. What is normal at this stage of life? I notice all the little changes in nature, but does that apply to me too? Sort of hidden fear...

Afterthought


God is always there. Do we pay any attention to it? Do we take time to see when He talks to us in a colour of sunset?
We are too busy to take time to notice it daily.
It isn't our chemical or negligence creation. We will never know why it is different and how any day. I can not miss it. It shows up every evening in my window and I have to think what is He telling me now?
Maybe not very sensible, but why does it fascinate me?
Just thinking. God is always there. Back in my childhood they used to foresee in the sunset what the next days weather will be like. No one thought that it could have been the Lord talked to them. Now we don't even take time to notice it.

It's comming


It was not there yesterday, but today driving to Barrie it just clicked in my mind: autumn has kissed some trees. Vow! That was a line for a poem. I was driving the regular speed and all the autumn's fiery touches passed by to fast to stop and take a picture. Though the line was clinging in my head "Autumn has kissed some. It must have happened last night by the full moon shine.
Romantic? - Or just me - floating in the unreal.
Came back slowly watching to find the tree that called for this line. Maybe some other driver behind me were angry for my slow speed, but I id not pretend i noticed. I had to find the tree.
I did. When I stopped on the roads shoulder and took couple pictures at different angles a horse came behind the fence and was talking to me. So naturally I talked back until he posed good enough for picture. It made my day.
Natures creations do make you feel happy, but the mind says summer is on a way out. What will the winter bring?
Well, I better enjoy the touch of the autumn , it will bring more off it .

touch of autumn

It does not seem to be as we remember autumn would be. This year has been different. I know we can not chose or manipulate the weather the way we like or do remember of before. This year appears to be different. Forecasters have been wrong most of the days, more or less.

It does not help the feelings toward a positive attitude about life. It is a question we can not know the answer. It is hard to take it knowing that all things are God's making. I have a hard time to positive attitude about myself. Dull days are depressing. No need to do anything, nobody needs me, just wait . Wait for what? We all know there is an end to our life in this world, but why do I have to think about it so much? I am considerably well health wise, as far as I know. But do I know ? I am scared to think of future dreams, It might be just dreams that never come real.
Being alone I have hard time to keep myself positively thinking and hope I am not wasting the days Lord granted me with. I can not put it in the right words the feeling that does not create exactly a confidence for the next day. Crazy, the general perception, but there is no pattern how we are suppose to be or feel. It is confusingly lonely longing for closer relationships that are very hard to find. We are too much involved in our personal life. Sharing feelings is not a common subject. I don't even know if there has to be a personal care for other people's emotions. I was just thinking about what my sister wrote about the understanding of words. Someone wrote in the readers letters that referring to heart as emotional factor is wrong. It is only a part of our bodily functions, like a mechanical part, that keeps our body functioning.
I thought that this particular person never mentioned soul. Neither did my sister, referring back on emotions in words. She said in a poem : don't scatter words, they are very affective creating feelings or hurting . How do you connect with people? How do you get friends if you are not free of using words the way you feel? I know I am making a big issue off it. Truth is still and always has been the best solution no matter how the feelings are. Feelings are instant reflection and has not given time to our soul to evaluate the few words that appear to be wrong. Am I lost in my thoughts? God gave me the gift of being able to think and decide about what I hear. I do not like to be hasty. Life goes on regardless how we trip and if we get up again and chose another understanding. God's will is a mystery and I don't know what He had in mind to make me think about all this so extensively. I do pray to have a peace in my mind to let things take care by Him...

Closer look


...that is what he wrote after taking walks along the pond and the big maple...
...possibly contemplating peace for his spirit...
