Oh, Autumn…
The world feels so heavy right now, and yet Autumn reminds us of all that we get to let go of.
Like leaves that drop from every tree around us, we too have the opportunity to shed that which is too heavy to carry.
Humanity is in a profound portal of transformation… will we emerge in love?
Can we finally learn from seasons past, tree ring upon tree ring, generations upon generations of violence, corruption, and greed, and turn our branches towards the light of interdependence, connection, and earth-based living?
Will these spackled, brown leaves fall to the Earth and create rich soil, so that we can begin again?
The seasons give us hope that anything is possible, from the miracles of spring to the great shedding of fall.
It grounds me to know that the Earth has our back through it all. Amidst the chaos, we too can ground our energy into our roots like the trees around us this Autumn, building our foundational reserves to forge resiliency.
Grow those roots deep, so you can stretch your branches tall.
