Getting Ready for Winter

It was a day outside  
to fight against the wind and cold.
To be enveloped 
in layers of clothes and gloved hands.
To rake leaves
mow the lawn
and prune branches.
We stood there
hand-in-hand
taking in the result.
The yard was now ready to hunker down for winter.

My work outside acted as a therapy of sorts as I let my mind drift to my spiritual landscape. I acknowledged the many different climate changes that are occurring and frontal boundaries that are blowing their way in and around my definition of a normal life and status quo. 

I am left to ponder ...

Do I have enough faith to hunker down for the season I just entered?
