Autumn Transformation

Wednesday's inspirational thoughts for a happy and fulfilling day.   [View Online]( INSPIRATION [Autumn Transformation]( As the days grow shorter, we tend to acknowledge the changing season without understanding that we, too, are in transition. The birth of autumn is an event missed by many. Autumn reveals itself slowly, hovering on the edges of our consciousness until its crisp breezes are strong enough to be felt, and we notice for the first time the transformations taking place all around us. It is only when the last fruits and vegetables have emerged and the trees have begun to deck themselves in shifting patterns of crimson and gold that we internalize that fall has indeed returned. Autumn is invigorating and a time to gather our thoughts, in the same way that we might once have collected crops. Autumn also ushers in a new slowness of being for most of us, as the tone and tempo of our lives change along with all of Mother Earth's children. As the days grow shorter and the blossoms that brightened our gardens through summer's heat begin to droop and wilt, we tend to acknowledge the changing season without understanding that we, too, are in transition. The brilliance of autumn's foliage, the flocks of southbound geese honking overhead, and the arrival of a bountiful harvest are all signs to slow down and take stock of our lives. Autumn's pleasures and rituals revolve around the gathering of abundance in preparation for the winter to come. There is ample time to contemplate what we accomplished during the warmer seasons while tasting the year's first cider or breathing in the sweet fragrance of leaves breaking down. The same stirring that inspires animals to burrow deep into the Earth compels us to celebrate the rich bounty we instinctively know will not appear again until springtime. Your priorities will likely change as nature flares into sunset brilliance and then lapses slowly into slumber, but remember to rejoice in the beauty of nature where every finale serves as an overture for a new beginning. ❁ Did you miss yesterday's inspiration?
