Silence......
.....the pure realms of undiluted silence that resonate in our weary souls and dare to manifest at inopportune times when we least expect it.
We
listen in blissful amazement and suddenly remember all of the positives
that were deeply buried in a living grave of devastating negativity and
useless complexities.
As if we never knew it, the silence was there
all the while - waiting patiently in the unexpected harbor of
astonishing simplicity.
The soothing balm of autumnal sunshine, the limitless possibilities of unblemished skies - nature's blessings resurrect our souls and expunge the stagnation and decay.
We are assuaged by the reassuring breath of the wind, as it rustles treetops with restless whispers in a breathless chorus of sacred song.
Dead leaves crunch in protest underfoot - - and overhead, clusters of blushing leaves still cling timidly to trembling branches.
The uncertainty of our transitory existence seems to diminish in this great expanse of ceaseless nature, and the futile complexities of our lives become less urgent, more insignificant.
If we listen carefully, the silence will eventually confirm the validity of all that we once knew and reveal the truth of everything that we refused to accept.
Listen to the humbling voice of sacred silence.

The weather today was perfect. Nearly 80 degrees (Fahrenheit). The autumn foliage was in full glory. I ventured outside, accompanied by my camera.......
The jack-o-lantern is getting moldy,
had to put him outside
Late afternoon forest mists and ghosts
Nice try, but too many shadows (above)
It was a breezy day. Rustling leaves are difficult to photograph.
Are the photos too large? Probably.
But I personally hate tiny fonts and tiny photos.
NOTE:
I wrote this post several days ago. When I published it on Blogger it suddenly disappeared, along with some other posts.
I don't know what happened, but I had to do the whole dang thing over again - from memory.
It wasn't easy.
