At last a crispness has filled the air, the tension from the heat has broken and you can almost feel the Earth sigh in relief.
I took a stroll yesterday and was swept up by the whirl-wind of falling leaves surrounding me. Autumn is a time of harvest and preparation, traditionally preparing and preserving food to last through the winter until once again the weather breaks and spring appears once more; more than that though autumn is a time of transformation - as the caterpillars shed their familiar forms to turn into a cocoon filled with pieces and parts - morphing, changing - to emerge anew as a butterfly; as the trees understand when the time comes to let go of things that no longer serve them; it is a time to reflect and let those things in your life fall away while you work towards becoming your best most true self. Allow yourself this time. Welcome autumn.
