I smell fall all around me waking the witch inside.........
its that time of year again..when mothers rally in thousands, millions probably celebrating their kids returning back to school after a long summer break..my facebook thread this morning was bombarded with photos of first day pictures of their beautiful children returning to the educational institute for higher learning..i still have one more week to go before I raise my grail of brew to another school year..11th grade, shit does time really fly bye..so for now I slumber in (7:30) and try to take each moment with a slower pace (maybe) and enjoy whats left of really the best summer (I say this every year) I can..im a creature of habit, ritualistic in fact, and the thought of adjusting to another time in season sometimes gives me anxiety even though we are currently fall bound as it is..in my mind I have a problem of already jumping seasons dreading the winter trying to pump my breaks of anticipation..I casually forget out of blizzard fear about my most favorite time of year that we are currently in, as I smell fall all around me waking the witch inside.. this is my beloved season, when I feel most alive as everything outside start to manifest a metaphorical altered state of death to survive the upcoming months of winter..I know it sound morbid, but there is something so beautiful for me to watch and see nature and its majestic inhabitants began to harvest the landscape making way for the silent retreat of becoming dormant in its bleak state of winters emptiness..there is a humble rooted respect of being able to survive the long cold months that offer very little light and resources for longevity while done in complete stride..as the leaves begin to turn and change, it makes me think about all the things I personally need to season physically, spiritually, metaphorically and let fall away in a most unattached way..i think about what is rooted in its foundation having the staying power and longevity to weather the season and what really needs to be released cultivating a moment to actual season your life..I think about what I want to do with the rest of my, our life and how to cultivate a way to grow infuse and empower everything that is around us..i feel finally nestled into a space in all areas of my life that offers me a sense of security to explore and take risks knowing I have the best safety net that is encouraging and supporting me as I begin the outline some dreams into fruition..as our kids return to school, it calls upon us to return to having some quiet time to think about ourselves in a very unselfish manner..take a moment and use the environment of nature and its profound happenings and see if you can correlate it in your daily routine offering you a simple jester in changing some dynamics in your life that are in need of a seasonal change..harness the energy of autumn and begin to focus on what needs to slowly weather away, and what is going to live timelessly in the up and coming winter months..think about what you want and desire and begin to start to mentally seeding those aspiring plans, so when the new year begins and the seasons shift again your garden of metaphorical ambitions become thriving opportunity's of abundant happenings..peace love faith hope
