Cool Morning Reflection

First cool morning in September - portending change in the seasons. 
~
Change denotes renewal, hope and improvement.
~
Most people fear change.  We are born with a primal insecurity because no matter what we do, we will ultimately experience a final demise as we depart this life.  All of our strivings, hopes and aspirations eventually must incorporate this mortality.
~
The only logic is to seize the present.  Live fully today, moment by moment.  The past is over... and has laid the foundation for your present...for better or worse.  The future is unfathomable, and your focus in controlling the outcome is a foolish endeavor that is beyond your ultimate capacity.
~
But you can bask in the convergence of the past with the future... the present.  It is the only place that offers the joy and happiness that we strive for in this life.  The religious masters tell us that joy is the natural order of the universe.....  Happy little atoms and planets humming and rotating joyfully along.
~
All we need to do is to focus on the cacophony of the present moment to squeeze our share of joy out of this life.

Matthew 6:26  Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?

So let change envelope you as you experience the constancy of the present.
Don't Worry, Be Happy.
