I read somewhere that Autumn is the "perfect pause". The time of year that makes us stop and think about change, cause that is what the trees around us are doing in a visible and tangible way. The days grow shorter and the air has a bit of a bite to it. The time of year, if you are me, that you break out the scarves and the boots.
I was way too busy that last couple week to really enjoy fall here in the city! And that is just a shame. After a crazy week of work I finally stole away an afternoon and got some much needed fresh air. I discovered a little piece of fall paradise just a mere 15 mins away from my home. After sitting up on top of a mountain for a little while, I discovered the main street in Golden, CO. If I have ever experienced a perfect fall day....it was this day. Cup of Chai in hand, I walked along Clear Creek for a while. Admiring the fall colors and finally getting some air. A deep breath of brisk fall air to bring my feet back down to earth. Walking through the park, I had to kick the leaves and step on the crunchy ones. It was my "perfect pause".
This one afternoon made me realize that I don't "pause" nearly enough. It doesn't mean taking an entire afternoon to escape. But more taking 5 mins, an hour or an evening to breathe.
28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
