What is the best thing about October?

October

I remember an October day in Oklahoma. Grandpa had racked the leaves into piles, ready to put in the steel drum he used to burn them, he watched us jump in the leaf piles. We scattered them, making more work for him, but he didn't care. He laughed and smiled as we jumped in the leaves, scattering them across the front yard. The best thing about October are the memories of Oklahoma it brings back, as a watch the clouds gather in the Nevada sky.

A cloudy morning
Promises an autumn shower
and a cooler day.

“Sometimes it is good to fly close to the flame, see and experience the heat, but then fly away again, to survive, to be wiser in the art of heat.” ~ Robert Black What does “to fly close to the flame” remind you of?

Moths Attracted To A Flame

God's love is a flame
lighting humanity's path
to eternal life.

Moth's attracted to
the flame of the Almighty
we seek to proclaim God's Cause.
