Autumn Reflections
Autumn wrapped me in a warm delight. It was a season of introspection, of quiet, hard work, and of forging a path back home. I feel a renewed sense of direction beginning to emerge and boy am I glad that’s here. As if, for the first time in my life I’m returning home, to the home of my self.
During this season, Romeo has grown leaps and bounds, and I fall deeper for him each day. Cesar & I are finding our groove and also our way back to more time together. I’ve missed him, so. We took a family outing to the pumpkin patch and it was, delightful. Such joy.
I’m continuing to write and it’s leading the way. I don’t know where we are going, but I follow the breadcrumbs and trust in the path. I believe in the coming months more reason will reveal itself to me.
Autumn Reflections
Sweet memories of this time fill my mind as the leaves out my window turn shades of vibrant red and hues of orange.
One by one they let go and let the wind take them away, falling into the rhythm of the turning season of life.
But in all this, as with all things - not one thing is true. There is also tragedy around me, both in the world and in my life.
Though as I steep in this season of thanksgiving, what I know more than ever to be true is this —
that life will devastate you, be unbearable at times, but if I don’t stop to see the beauty around me, surely I will perish, too.
May the sharp pains of life turn us deeper towards compassion and empathy for ourselves and others.
May we find, savor, share, and be -
the light
the light
the light.
