Waiting in the Pumpkin Patch called Life....

Charlie Brown: Oh brother. When are you going to stop believing in
  something that isn't true?
Linus: When YOU stop believing in that fat guy in a red suit and the
  white beard who goes, "Ho, ho, ho!"
Charlie Brown: We are obviously separated by denominational
  differences.

from the Movie:  The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, 1966

My favorite season has finally arrived,

the cool nip in the air

blows through my window.

I pull the quilts on my bed up around my neck and snuggle down

trying to get another moment of sleep

before

the dogs decide....

:it's time:

I look out...

darkness is still settled on the horizon,

no sign of Ms. Sunshine quite yet,

Mr. Moon is still beaming,

smiling at me

wishing me a good day....

I breath in...

cool air fills my lungs.

and

i realize once again

how wonderful life is....

I breath out,

smoky breath leaves my body,

dissipates in the air

and

it starts over.

coffee simmers,

day begins....

and

the wonder and mystery

of

the Universe

rises to greet me....

i watch for IT

almost daily

almost constantly

just

like

Linus

watched and believed in the Great Pumpkin...

and when I'm really in tune

with

both myself

and the world...

The Universal Power

comes to me,

greets me,

calls my name in ways

that are not audible to the human ear,

but rather

in ways that strike the cords of my heart in subtle melodic strums that adds music to the symphony of the Universe....

I wait...

wait and watch

for

some kind of evidence

that

"the Great Mystery is Real"

My scientific mind,

often tells me...

"IT is not possible"

my heart...

my human heart that contains the love

of  what I call

God...

it beats

and

it's rhythm is my call

....

to IT..

the Mystery of the Universe.

Some days,

when I sit and wait,

sit in the Pumpkin Patch

we call life,

IT arrives...

and

i stand in awe and sometimes faint just like Linus...

the wind blows,

hits my face,

leaves change,

color the world,

crisp sounds of dryness,

cool chill in the air....

and

I wait...

and

wait...

and

wait....

for the

Mystery to Arrive in all Her Glory to surprise me.

so on this cold Saturday morning

on the
first day of October...

my wish for all of us is

that

"the Mystery"

will meet you and surprise you,

regardless of our

denominational and cultural and intellectual differences....

if

you believe....

"the Mystery will come"...

See you in the Pumpkin Patch we call Life.....

Happy Saturday.

hugs and blessings
