God of the seasons:
There is a time for everything.
There is a time for dying and rising.
We need courage to enter into the transformation process.
God of autumn:
The trees are saying ‘Goodbye’ to their green,
Letting go of what has been.
We too have our moments of surrender with all their insecurity and risk.
Help us to let go when we need to do so.
God of fallen leaves lying in coloured patterns on the ground:
Our lives have their patterns.
As we see the patterns of our own growth,
may we learn from them.
