Well, hello Autumn!
I feel I just started the Summer and yet, Mother Earth tells me change is upon us (that and all the pumpkins and Halloween stores popping up everywhere!).
This, after a few years, it is my first Fall back in Florida and here, let me tell you, the transition is not really visible in nature, but it is definitely, at least for me, felt within.
I am still daydreaming about my tradition to go to Central Park in NY during Autumn, just to enjoy one of the most beautiful times of the year. As the natural world around transitions into another season, the leaves are gently floating from the tree limbs, the lush green of the woods transformed to a palette of earth tones, the gardens and fields of farmland in NY state crying out…come harvest!
Everything changes, Nature reminds us through the leaves falling, how beautiful it is to let things go.
Yes, this is the season to let go, to move differently, dress differently, eat differently…maybe even think differently.
As I wander about my Autumn’s traditions in NY, I am also appreciating my sunrise yoga on the beach, days where I am feeling the sand in my toes, the smell of the ocean air, where I am swimming into a crystal-clear nurturing mineral sea water, I am breathing-in the sea magic and experiencing the glorious exhale of being present.
And I look around with gratitude for any tradition I have created and any tradition that I let go in lieu of new ones.
When we get still, the senses are enlivened, you breathe deeply, you feel deeply, you live deeply.
Connecting with the ocean, with nature, all feeds me and reminds me that no matter what’s going on around us, no matter how loud, how chaotic, how divisive, the world is still alive and filled with beauty and wonder.
And while I am hungry to see the world and to travel far and wide, I am renewed right here, right now, connecting, connecting and connecting.
Any precious time is an opportunity to be present and call forth more of what we want in our lives, Love, Peace, Gratitude, Compassion, Vitality, Aliveness, Connection.
We are creating traditions in real time, right here in this present moment.
Embrace it, Breathe it in. Allow it to heal you.
