The autumn leaves are falling around you—one, now another, now more. The surrounding trees are covered in orange and yellow and red leaves, making everything you see a fiery warm glow.  The fallen leaves create a carpet of color as far as you can see. Spread a blanket and lie back on the leaves so that you can rest and watch them fall.

The change of season evokes a response from you—a desire to slow down, to be calm, thoughtful, and meditative. Look up and see another leaf start its fall. Watch as it gently floats and swirls its way down. With every leaf that you follow, you feel a greater sense of calm. Follow another, now another.
