"Lord, it is time. The summer was very big. Lay thy shadow on the sundials, and on the meadows let the winds go loose. Command the last fruits that they shall be full; give them another two more southerly days, press them on to fulfillment and drive the last sweetness into the heavenly wine."
❤ Rainer Maria Rilke
September is welcomed as many of us remain glad for the end of summer leaning in to the slightest touch of coolness.
September arrives and I begin to cool off and get into life again. Bears hibernate in the winter, I hibernate in the summer.
I look forward to the fun of Halloween and Thanksgiving. I look forward to being motivated again.
Each turn of the wheel brings us change. I'm awakening to changes I need to make.
We are still very warm here in south Florida, but I do detect a smidgen of change.

I'm happy you are noticing a slight change. I know it is so hot for you! I like the cooler weather too - I don't do so well in the intense heat. Here's to September!
Many thanks and blessings for the beautiful prayer.
