Yes, almost time for the major introspection. Although I, like you, live free and dance in the rain. Introspection is something that I do every morning. I live only according to what the Holy Spirit tells me. For the rest, I go with the flow. And it makes me happy.
Oh, and about autumn leaves, is there anything more beautiful than an old oak tree in its russet colours in autumn?!
I love a Lady Oak in her russet dress and it's the very same Holy Spirit that reminds us about God's beauty!
