Autumn days

It's a wonderful, warm, late October day, the light is different, softer, coming more on an angle.  The days are growing shorter more quickly each passing day.  It's darker in the morning when I get up.  Here in beautiful Northern California, the earth is waiting for the rains that usually come next month.  Plants are hanging on, surviving, waiting it out until the soil is wet once again.  The brown hills will quickly turn green as the seeds spread last Spring sprout in the moist soil.  The beauty here sometimes takes my breath away, like the other morning when I noticed in the dark blue morning sky at 7 AM, a full moon setting over Mt. Tamalpais just across the Bay to the West.  Then looking South-East I saw in the sunrise pink and gold clouds streaking across a pale pink and powder blue sky.  I thought, it doesn't get more beautiful than this.  It is a time for waiting, for resting, for being fully present to these amazing late October days.
