They Just Fell Like That

Alas! there is no instinct like the heart...

and it reminded me of a heart.

Fallen Autumn

“I think of the trees and how simply they let go, let fall the riches of a season, how without grief (it seems) they can let go and go deep into their roots for renewal and sleep.... Imitate the trees. Learn to lose in order to recover, and remember that nothing stays the same for long....

The Blushing Farewell

I walked alone in the depths of Autumn woods; 

The ruthless winds had left the maple bare; 

The fern was withered, and the sweetbrier's breath 

No longer gave its fragrance to the air. 

~ Albert Laighton

Be Grateful

Be grateful for the kindly friends 

that walk along your way; 

 Be grateful for the skies of blue 

that smile from day to day; 

 Be grateful for the health you own, 

the work you find to do, 

 For round about you there are men less fortunate than you. 

 Be grateful for the growing trees, 

the roses soon to bloom, 

 The tenderness of kindly hearts 

that shared your days of gloom; 

 Be grateful for the morning dew, 

the grass beneath your feet, 

The soft caresses of your babes and all their laughter sweet. 

Acquire the grateful habit, 

learn to see how blest you are, 

How much there is to gladden life, 

how little life to mar! 

And what if rain shall fall today 

and you with grief are sad; 

Be grateful that you can recall the joys that you have had.
