As the daylight wanes and the sun slides westward the shadows grow longer. This fall ritual of Nature creates an interesting pattern of light versus dark on the mountains. People often think casting a shadow mean an omen of negativity. I believe each of us has the ability of shining a light of positivity and hope over any darkness.

Now that the foliage season is winding down, the ground is covered with a crunchy carpet of leaves. The woods come alive with the sound of movement not heard during the summer. Each sound makes us wonder what is making it. Life itself can become more alive when we pay attention.

Each day my goal is to set my intentions to experience magical moments following my soul’s path. One such moment happens when I see the mountains across the valley. I feel heart-based gratitude, and my senses feel alive as I intend to share what I feel through positive actions.

If time and weather allow, I intend to find an opportunity every day to walk a trail on the mountainside. For me it is a wonderful way to experience joy and peace. I think one of the secrets of finding balance in life is to discover something that brings you heartfelt joy, which I am grateful to share with others.

I noticed several oak tree tips on the ground. Something was attacking them. Almost every species in the woods has a type of pest trying to get nourishment from them, causing damage. A lot of people feel that they are living under some kind of attack. It is comforting to believe that something is watching over us.

From the top of the Mountain I can observe the valley below and the ridges and peaks. Looking north I can look into the distance and see the large mountains known as the Great Whites. I can feel the cold breeze and yet I can only imagine what is like to be up there. It is good to have different views wherever we are in life.

I took another walk from the cabin over to the Lupine field to observe the fading colors of the fall foliage. I knew that soon we would be in what many consider the bleak portion of autumn, before the snow arrives. I think there is much to discover no matter what the season.

I am fascinated by how the sunlight or lack thereof plays on the mountainside. I am fortunate to observe lighting as pertains to photography, and that causes me to see movement at a slow pace. People in a hurry can miss the wonders that are right in front of them. Try watching the light play.
