I watch as fall arrives in earnest, bringing with it the rain and the wind. I upgrade and downsize. Finding my myself overwhelmed at times, but also able to keep the intention in focus. I move slowly, paying attention, noticing, openhearted and assertive, knowing this is just where I need to be.

“I remember one morning...
getting up at dawn...
there was such a sense of possibility!
You know? That feeling?
And... and I remember thinking to myself:
'So this is the beginning of happiness...'
'This is where it starts!'
'And, of course, there'll always be more.'
Never occurred to me
it wasn't the beginning,
It was happiness.
It was the moment...”
― Virgínia Woolf
