Fall is a season of transition – it gives us time for preparing for winter. Sometimes we use the time to procrastinate, sometimes we pretend that our calendars and technology can keep us immune, and sometimes the change is long awaited. You are invited to bring stories and reflections from your own life about times when you could have been aware of an upcoming transition and how you responded. We can talk a bit about the reality of change in each day and our desire for things to stay the “same.”
