The Hidden Secret of Fall…
“When the winds of change blow, remember… sometimes what appears dead is simply preparing for a new season.” —Jane Lee Logan
While the heat and few signs of fall in Central Texas make the arrival of the Autumnal Equinox this past Sunday hard to believe, we can still lean into all the shift from one season to the next has to offer.
From the symbolism of falling leaves to the transformation possible with the winds of change, each of us will gravitate to the wisdom of autumn that best supports our own transformation.
“The hidden secret of fall: the leaves don’t actually ‘turn’ colors. With the winter season coming, and the process of photosynthesis being without the key ingredients of warmth and sunshine, trees begin to break down chlorophyll.
With the “green” gone, the other colors that have been there all along—the magical reds, golds, and oranges—begin to express themselves…The beauty has been there all along. And we human beings are like this. Each one of us contain hidden jewels inside.” — Omid Safi
What hidden jewels inside you are longing to be revealed this fall? What beauty within—that has been there all along—is ready to shine brightly now?
May you pay attention to the transformation the season of fall heralds in nature and may you welcome its wisdom and beauty into your own life.
Join the Dance
“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.” — Alan W. Watts
A Time of Renewal
“Gratitude for the turning of the seasons. May we attune our hearts to their enduring message of renewal.”
— Kristin Granger
The Season to Know
Now is the season to know
That everything you do
Is sacred.
