Taking the dog for a throw early this morning, I was mesmerized by the sky and the inclement seasonal changes. The air was crisp and light, and you could literally see the winds of change high above, moving the light of the morning.

It struck me, standing in that open field surrounded by tall trees, my feet treading dew and my breath visible before me, how incredibly beautiful a morning can be. Even an “ordinary” one becomes magnificent in the still early hours, away from technology, as the Earth slowly rotates toward the sun.

We face problems and contemplate solutions and live and die on this Earth, and all the while it provides the most splendid home we could ask for. As we head into Autumn with yet another opportunity to witness this magical seasonal change, let us remember to treasure our home.
