Autumnal Thoughts
As Autumn has arrived for her stay with us in preparation of the long
cold nights of winter. We know this time of year is not only of harvest –
The harvesting of the abundance of fruits of labor and storage of that
abundance for preparation of those long cold nights of Winter —
But it is also a time of release.
We witness the trees shedding their offspring of leaves born just
months ago for preparation of new growth to be re-born in the Spring.
If we were to take this birth-live-release-rest cycle of life to our inner
world —- from the gross (material) world to the subtle world — the one
within – your True Self – the witness to your human existence – what
would that world inspire you to release?
Do you need to release something only born in the Spring of this
current time – or do you need to release that which arrived in the Spring
of many moons ago?
What can you release now in this current Autumn of your life?
What can you release now so that upon the arrival of Winter – the
months of rest and solace for healing in preparation of the Spring – the
time for rebirth and growth to be open for the joyous celebration in the
shining sun of Summer? What can you release?
If it takes a tree the cycle of a year to transform – understand that your
healing journey is a process – one that needs to travel through
seasons, whether by human standards or by the Devine – but a journey
that cannot be travelled on, unless one travels through the cycle of
birth, living, releasing and rest.
Know this is my wish for you – not only may your sunrises hold more
promise and your sunsets hold more peace but may you Release,
Rest, Grow and Live.
Know that I have so much love to give you.
Namaste,
Jenn
