I surrender!

Lynne Robinson, Hewitt, New Jersey
I knew the minute I saw this blue jay’s feather stuck in the ground while mowing the front yard today what it meant to me. Okay, seasons; okay, life: I surrender! It looked like a white flag of submission to me. I hereby surrender to the seasonal swing into fall which I totally embrace. I hereby surrender to coming to terms with my Mom’s death which I am still struggling with. I surrender, but I’m not admitting defeat. Of anything.
