Filled with the vigor that comes with hope, I dance about the rain-soaked landscape of my mind. Comforted by the shelter this one-hundred-year-old white farmhouse provides, my thoughts are filled with the possibilities this life unveils. Outside, the rain falls on mulched garden beds and sheltered greens. Wind snaps through a tattered flag. Inside, the warmth envelopes me and awakens my soul. Fall has arrived.

The light has shortened to ten hours. Soon the darkness will outlast the day. My list has grown shorter, and activities like painting and baking pick up momentum. Fall has arrived.

What was a fitness maintained by the work of this land, now shifts to the cardiovascular development through which a running program inspires. I run to stimulate mitochondrial growth and awaken the mind. The steady rhythm of my gliding steps opens the neuropathways of creativity. The cadence of my breath enlightens new possibilities and connects open-ended ideas. The personal ethics of my work brings about developments of my mind. The steady flow of enriched fluids in my veins resolves unanswered questions from the days behind. Fall has arrived.
