This autumn yellow was the love of my eyes and my heart . Arresting , magnificent , soothing .
For those of you who know me I am OBSESSED with mustard yellow , that golden butter yellow , the ochre
Hwang ( yellow ) is my mother’s maiden name .
A few years ago as I was connecting with Korean traditions I found out yellow “ Hwang “ corresponds to the center within the cardinal directional points . Associated with the element earth and the virtue of trust .
Yellow held me in the autumn of 2018 as I processed the grief of my aunts death . Yellow kept me tethered to this plane , reminded me I had the capacity to be with & feel grief slowly and surely , one shard at a time .
This autumn Iv been finding the seasonal transition tough alongside the uncertainty of our sociopolitical times and the economic crisis we are currently in.
Many days have felt like a rough sea and once again Iv found the gift of yellow in the turning of the leaves reach out to me , a moment of grounding , a quiet comfort … a reminder to anchor into my centre .
Next week the first real cold snap arrives …. If you haven’t had a moment with the yellow leaves , here’s an invitation to infuse your last moments , feast the eyes & id love to know what comes up for you
