September Meditation - Burton D. Carley

[Larry Robinson]


September Meditation

I do not know if the seasons remember their history or if the days and 
nights by which we count time remember their own passing.
I do not know if the oak tree remembers its planting or if the pine 
remembers its slow climb toward sun and stars.
I do not know if the squirrel remembers last fall's gathering or if the 
bluejay remembers the meaning of snow.
I do not know if the air remembers September or if the night remembers 
the moon.
I do not know if the earth remembers the flowers from last spring or if 
the evergreen remembers that it shall stay so.
Perhaps that is the reason for our births - to be the memory for 
creation.
Perhaps salvation is something very different than anyone ever expected.
Perhaps this will be the only question we will have to answer:
"What can you tell me about September?"
