We are getting some fall colors down in the Philadelphia region now. It definitely makes driving better, as along the route there are moments where the otherwise monotonous road landscape is punctuated by beauty. And today as I was driving, I thought about how this last burst of vibrant color is happening before the tree goes dormant for the winter, that the colors are an indicator of a future rebirth. And in some ways it feels like permission to go inward with the hope of beginning again.
