While the long view does thrill me with its expanse, it's when I am walking among the trees that I find myself lifted up out of myself into the Divine. A kind of joyful ecstasy that includes some sort of ache in my heart. This has been one of the most beautiful autumns we have had in a long time. The colors are brilliant and vivid. It is difficult to find names to capture the colors. Maybe gold and salmon and crimson. This wild variety is underfoot as well as on the trees. Today some of these bright leaves were floating in the air. It hasn't hurt that the last few days have been hot and sunny and crystal clear. A great gift.
