This is the time of year when we can wake up to a chill in the air and the hummingbirds madly feeding at the feeder. I noticed the cats at the barn were a little more playful and rambunctious this past week and the horses were losing their short summer coat. All of nature feels the shift and at times we can fight the shift, laminate the cooler temperatures and just mourn summer. Or we can lean into the shift and be with the change and transformation of the seasons.
At this junction the days get a bit shorter with sunlight and the cooler nights call for outside fires, and light jackets. It is the month I try to swim outside just a few more times. The cold water tickles my skin and the glowing sun still warms my face as I float and look at the shifting skies.
Enjoy this month and stay grounded as you welcome in fall and the joy it can bring.
Where in your life can you sway in the breeze and fall into your next?
Go outside and notice with all your senses the subtle shifts in the air, on the ground, and allow your body to just be with nature without having to do anything but witness.
As you hang out with the coming of fall what in your life can you let go of and allow nature to transform?
