It’s still over a week away from September. Then…it’s weeks more until autumn officially begins. Longer still: actual chilly weather in Texas, which rolls in sometime around November
.
But it’s close.
There will be the September days over 100 degrees, but that doesn’t matter. Something changes when the calendar rolls to September. It’s the beginning of my favorite season…
It’s the beginning of my most productive season…
Each Step
Each autumn is full of steps toward better things: writing, health, and other loves. Each autumn is its own step, making up years of progress when I look back.
It’s not that I do nothing during other seasons, but there’s something triggered in me when the heat of summer falls away and I can hike without fear of dehydrating. Everything smells so crisp. The winds from the north all but demand you stop and listen.
We’re still months from seeing leaves turn color and fall from the trees in Texas, but that doesn’t matter. The moment the page of the calendar turns from August to September, the best stuff is all right there…
