A Perfect October Day in Ohio



I looked up to see
the colors of life in my heaven,
the benediction of the waving leaves,
their gasp of flashy beauty
and reflection in the cooling waters.
I felt the rhythm of Earth,
constant and unchanging as
a breathing body or a turning season,
immutable as God's love.

Thank you for these images, Diane. I'm originally from Toledo, and Ohio will always be my home, though I've lived in several cities during the past few years.

This is the perfect way to start a Sunday morning -- the sense of tranquility & peace.
