as one door closes

...another one opens. It's coming up to that transitional time of the year again, September, Autumn, Equinox. It's a time of balance between the seasons and life in general. With daughter off to college things looked gloomy for a long while...a sense of a loss. Losing the child that was and gaining an adult, a fully rounded independent being. So perhaps I did my job as a parent ok. I could even afford myself a little pat on the back, not that I did it all on my own. But not a bad job even if I say so myself.

And what will I do now that one fledgling has flown the nest. It's a time for great opportunity to see where life takes me, both in the physical and the spiritual sense. It's time for me to open my eyes and see clearly all that is around me.
