he moves mountains and pounds them to ground again

I hope one day to never forget the autumn leaves. Ideally, I want to remember what color each individual leaf changes to forever and forever. But instead, I never even remember them changing in the first place. I think that’s just the cycle of things though, by the time summer rolls around, enough time will have passed that I’ll forget all of its simple joys-- the perfect weather of June, the frogs croaking all night long, wading in the creek; feeling the scratchy-smooth silt between your toes-- all these things will feel like a shiny, new gift. And by fall next year, I will have no memory of how the yellow leaves danced on their way down to the ground, briefly stopping to mingle with the crisp, refreshing autumnal air. And, at least I like to think, that’s Mother Nature’s gift to us. Her timing is impeccable and generous, she knows how to reward our living. It’s on slow days like this I thank Her.
