Reflection Column

Fall/autumn brings a time of change for many things like trees, flowers, grass, weather, and us. These changes occur every year, however we find the changes vary year to year for us. 

Nature seems to do these changes naturally and repetitively, which cues us in to the need for changes in our own lives. How do we look at life, how do you view changes that have happened in our life over this year? How do we adapt to these changes? Are we willing to change as nature is and do we willingly take on change? 



Maybe it’s time for us to look at how we adapt and change in this fall season, is it appropriate for us to do so?

The Last

by Sister Angelita Abair

The last, the final one,
This bright October day
That cries “It’s not yet done,
We must keep Death at bay.”
October colors my way
Waving, strewing hues,
Earth tones amid the green,
One last view of earth today,
Glimpsing the glory, the sheen
Of God’s beauty each morn.
His artistry in nature’s play,
is an ache in my heart
This last, the final Day.
