Namaste my beautiful soul sisters & brothers!
There is no denying it Carole summer is on it's way out.
Are you feeling a little melancholy?
Perhaps it's a kind of grief.
The nights are getting much cooler.
The trees are loosing their leaves, and changing color.
We are getting ourselves back into routine, and
fall activities.
The FREE spirit of summer is quickly diminishing.
Personally I LOVE the fall!
I don't do well in the heat of the summer.
My senses are tickled by the array of colors and the smells.
The squirrels keep me amused as they hide their acorns all over the yard.
And I feel a sense of need to retreat and fill up my reserves.
I find myself planning for winter...freezing veggies from the garden.
Pondering on what kind of soups will nourish my soul this upcoming
season.
A gentle reminder that our bodies (body, mind & spirit)
need time to adjust
to the upcoming season.
Give yourself compassion, and
patience as you transition into the new cycle.
Aho!
My Musings & Ponderings
🦋 Grand Mother Maple
My husband (Grant) and I recently took a holiday in
Georgetown, ON. We had the pleasure of staying with Grant's
cousin (Wendy). In her back yard is a very majestic Maple Tree.
I was sitting in Wendy's beautiful Zen garden meditating and the Maple Tree
introduced herself to me. She said: "I am Grand Mother Maple and
over there you will find Grand Father Maple, and all the Maples in this area
are our children".
I was honored that she spoke to me. She invited me to enter her trunk
for a journey...and so I did.
I enjoyed a nourishing journey of connecting with her roots that
merged with underground rivers and then extending my arms out
to the branches taking in the light codes of the sun.
What a journey indeed! Felt amazing and refreshed.
A magical way to start a holiday.
And so it was.
