Even though it may not feel like it in some parts of our country right now, the season of autumn is just around the corner! HeartSpeak invites our readers to ponder autumn’s arrival with these words from Joyce Rupp and Macrina Wiederkehr:
“Autumn is a wondrous metaphor for the transformation that takes place in the human heart each season. When we notice a subtle change of light outside our windows, we know the dark season is near. Everything is being prepared for winter. Autumn calls us in from summer’s playground and asks significant questions about our own harvest: What do we need to gather into our spiritual barns? What in our lives needs to fall away like autumn leaves so another life waiting in the wings can have its turn to live?”
