I spent the afternoon craving fall.
So I bought a pumpkin spice candle, and sat by the fire.
I think fall is beautiful. I also realized that I love change.
After a while of something, summer for instance, my heart is ready for something new.
Not that I don't enjoy what's happening in the moment, but it was just one of those days.
I'm ready for Fall.
Fall with it's crisp weather, and thick fog...perfect for bike rides.
Sitting by the fire, with sweaters and scarves. Spiced chai tea.
Apple picking. Mmm, that's the best.
I was reading 'Surprised by Joy' as C.S. Lewis
describes a favorite childhood book and what he experienced through it....
"It troubled me with what I can only describe as the Idea of Autumn. It sounds fantastic to say that one can be enamored of a season, but that is something like what happened; and, as before, the experience was one of intense desire. And one went back to the book, not to gratify the desire (that was impossible- how can one possess Autumn?) but to reawake it. And in this experience also there was the same surprise and the same sense of incalculable importance."
