The stillness of Fall always brings an unexplainable stillness to my soul. Maybe it's the pause before the deep cold, the last few glimpses of green, or the brilliant colors of death falling from trees. But every autumn I park myself near a window at some coffee shop where nobody knows my name just stare. I think about nothing, and rest in the rare contentment my heart feels. There's always a "song of the season," and this season has two - Milano by Sigur Ros and Hillsong's Hosanna.
Looking at the calendar, my most beloved annual events are approaching, with some new additions. Kingdom Thanksgiving & Michigan Game, shopping with my sisters, Christmas Date, Lights at the Toledo Zoo, and a babies shower for my soon-to-be-born twin nephews.
So much has changed since the last time I had my Fall Staring Day. I suppose that's the joy of my mid 20's - constant change. Someday maybe I'll yearn for more stability, more committment, but for right now, I'm content.
Actually, I hope life is never static. Here's to living a roller-coaster life for the One who brings change. Cin-cin.
