Elbert Hubbard wrote, “The eagle molts a feather because he is growing a better one.” This post is dedicated to Bob and all those growing new feathers.

Late September lays a gentle hand upon the earth, easing life into predestined cycles.
---G. Hill

September shows us how beautiful it is to let things go.
-----Samuel Butler

Before it lets go, the autumn leaf twists and turns until September's gentle hand escorts it to its soft landing.
-----G. Hill

Are we any less?

Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
-----Matthew 11: 29-30

Gentleness is strength under control. It is the ability to stay calm, however strong the winds, and no matter what happens.
―-- Elizabeth George

Worthy of Repeating . . . The eagle molts a feather because he is growing a better one. — Elbert Hubbard

Gloria as always gorgeous pictures and wonderful wisdom – I really like this one!! thank you!
I love the Sept- Oct period. The colors, the chill, arriving at a warm house are all just great.
Yes, I agree. The change of seasons, nature’s cycles are always a welcome comfort.
Gloria, I always love your work. It’s a sumptuous blend of thoughts, poetry, Scripture, art, really great blend.
Bill, What a nice thing to say. I truly appreciate your thoughts. If I am breathing, then I am writing. And I do like the creative process, even with images. I use AI quite a bit. Be well. Gloria
