I couldn’t believe my eyes when I looked down on the ground and saw a red leaf. It seems too early in the season for the green to be leaving, revealing the true color of the Red Maple. Looking up on the limbs, I saw a few other leaves have also begun changing.
These first signs the seasonal shift respond to the decreasing amount of sunlight. The cooler temperatures also signal our animal nature. Soon it will be time to gather our nuts if not get back-to-school supplies in preparation for what is coming. 
Can you feel the subtle changes? Do you resist or welcome them? Ki to Happiness delights in observing the constant changes revealing our true colors like the Red Maple.
