Geese are gathering
Trees are lightening
Days are shortening
A change in season
We too transition into new seasons
leaving behind old, worn ways
Ones no longer needed
no longer useful
The change in season brings new perspective
fresh approach
whether it be the vibrancy of summer
or the coziness of winter
The gift is in the accepting
of the new, the different,
the more appropriate,
for the season

There is wisdom in changing one's perspective as the seasons' change. This is harder to do in a society that goes 24/7/365, but as you say, Kelly, "The gift is in the accepting."
