Remember September

As the scent of autumn emerges from apple orchards and cozy kitchens, September promises the sensory details lost to summer: the aroma of cinnamon, the chill of a dewy morning, the pitter-patter of rain. 

For many of us, the ease of summer has satiated our awareness as we languished in the heat of long days and short nights. But this month reminds us of the flurry of holidays ahead when our perception peaks. Let us remember the calm in the center of the wintry storms ahead—the crackling fireplaces, the shifting colors of foliage, the warm cup of tea. 

These precious moments can bring us graciously back to our senses.
