Creative ARTISTS often depict Panoramic Views.

I looked at the end of September, last week,
but now, I am looking at the beginning of October!
I brought my friend, Charles G. W. Whistle-pig along.
There may be a block of time pictured on the calendar on my wall, but in real life, there is no such distinction. One really has merged into the other, without skipping over any lines that separate the words on the calendar pages.
For instance, a creative work of art or writing may show various aspects of several seasons, on one canvas or page. This view often shows, past, present, and future.
In my own work in writing and making art, I am working in ways that show constellated time. This is the opposite of the typical chronological use of space, and it requires a different engagement for the viewer to grasp initially.
I celebrate Simultaneous Awareness.
In this first weekend of October, I stand here holding or grasping a multiple mental state about the month of September , that just ended, and the new month, October. This is a focus that I have been considering for an exceptionally long time. Well, I cannot remember the time when this was not on my mind. I think it began before I had language or could speak.
All of us hold memories, or historical moments in the mind at the exact same time. This is the normal mental state. Yet, when we begin to write or create an artwork, we often fail to recognize this state-of-experience, and we drift into a more subdued projection in our work. Actually, we become fearful and worry about trivial things that take us off the path of discoveries. We are now walking in fear and it is the fear of what others may think.
When I think of the month of September, now gone from view, as I turned the page to the month of October, I have mixed emotions. It’s almost like being light-headed or unsteady.
In particular, the transition of September merging into October usually makes me stop what I am doing and get my balance. Yes, I actually feel like I need to get my strength back, somehow. Do you feel dizzy about this change, too?
September does this to me every year! The month always seems to have wings, and it flies by so quickly that I feel anxious today when I think about September’s departure. I am never quite ready to say “Good-Bye” to September! I’ve tried to Capture September, one year. I wrote about this challenge in my book_Walking by Inner Vision: Stories & Poems.
September is always a month that I just never get enough before it disappears. In fact, in my book Walking by Inner Vision: Stories & Poems, See it Here!
“Try to Capture September,” begins on page 157, in the book.
Of the many years of writing essays and non-fiction stories that essay is probably in my top 5 of favorite writings that have appeared in books and literary journals.
This week, we shifted from September into October mid-week.
With this shifting from one month into the next, we also remain in the Fall Season, since we just entered into it on September 22. This article will be published on Sunday, October 4. On this day, we will have another 88 days to enjoy 2026.
This reminded me that my ONE WORD for 2026 – is “356 Days.” Instead of one word, I put a number with it! I wanted to keep focused on the days as they come along this year.
I want to be mindful of each day that I am blessed to be living on this beautiful earth that our Creator gifted us to enjoy during our life journey. When I open my eyes in the morning, I usually say, “Thank you, God!” aloud. I speak to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as I begin the first moments of each day. It is wonderful how the day progresses when I begin with appreciation and joy for each new dawn. My morning activities begin and I stop during the day to take a rest, and to contemplate the day.
I like to realize at the end of the day that some tasks are completed.
I also like to know if something new or different may have begun. This gives me a sense of satisfaction and anticipation of what might be coming my way tomorrow.
Finally, I envision some new ideas or plans coming along for the future.
I take time out during the day, for contemplation, a rest, exercise, and thinking. Yes, thinking has to be planned into the day, regardless of the weather or the time. thinking is a substance that can be translated into faith. Thinking can invite hope into our day.
I am the happy cat lady at 104 River Road. Thanks for visiting with me today!
__Scripture
Luke 12:32
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
A Song of Celebration: Listen Here.
_Daily Action Plan
1_Seasons and months of change are a part of being alive and we will experience them as we move through the days.
2_Consider how you reflect your own passage through the seasons of life and how you might expand on those times in your own artistic products.
3_ How can you show a panoramic view of a day, a month, a season, or a life story?
3_Turn off the busy chatter of your mind. It is a center of confusion and talks constantly.
It is usually judgmental and we want to stop that chatter so we can hear God’s voice. Let yourself be aware of the still small voice and open yourself to be creative to something you will receive quietly and clearly. God does not give us chatter and confusion. and the help He gives us is right on time.

How I Found HOPEFULNESS in Unexpected Changes:
I discovered a new life after sudden sight loss. For the next two years, I learned to see the world and my place in it in an entirely new way. I completed training for Personal Adjustment to Blindness, It took two years of training and lots of challenging work to learn to read and write using adaptive technologies for the blind. Ad the months went by, God was showing me that my creative life would continue,, but in some new ways.
I began to write Divinely inspired life lessons
New experiences and God-directed Opportunities
New DISCOVERIES to share with the world
A NEW SEASON on the Narrow Path with Jesus.
