The Seeker's Path

I never noticed before how the leaves leave their mark when they fall.

Over the years I’ve given many retreats and talks about the season of autumn, and the spiritual lessons of this crisp and colorful season.

Today in my morning prayer time, I was listening on YouTube to Ennio Morricone conduct his orchestra and choir performing his brilliant soundtrack for “The Mission.”

The stores are filled with back-to-school supplies. The first stray, colored leaves are starting to appear on the grass and sidewalks.

There’s a painting of a tree showing the limbs in each season, and we talk about meeting the face of God in each season, and today I’m wondering what the God of Summer’s face is like.
