If you know me, you know sunlight and warmth is key to me not turning into an absolute gremlin and well having a personality 😅 and though I can appreciate the cosy pull of autumn, the end of summer and the closing in of light, crushes my soul hard!
This beautiful day, probably the last day of heat and sun we’ll have for a good while seems as good a time as any to consider how the shifting of seasons can affect our internal and external landscapes. And also what a privilege it is to be able to consider this as something we can prepare for when so many people are without any consistency, grounding, shelter or safety right now 💔.
Maybe it’s easy to forget what a privilege having a safe space you can call home is. Which I guess is the internal reminder I have to hold close whilst moving into this next portion of time. That that space can become a cosy sanctuary of warmth, light and connection in its own way.
One of my wonderful students reminded me of the Scandinavian concept of ‘Hygge’ today and how the English word cosy really doesn’t do it justice. Because it’s so much more than cosy…it’s light, nature, togetherness, pleasure in simple things, rest, presence and thankfulness.
I’m putting this here as a reminder to myself and to anyone else it resonates with, that this time can hold so much… and what an absolute privilege it is to be able to ruminate on any of this at all.
It all seems so trivial in a world that feels very hateful and bleak right now and no distraction or delusion will make that not so but I guess if we get taken down with it, our passion, fight and empathy go too and then how can we ever hope for or make change.
I never have the words or know what action is the best one so for now…my love and musings in case anyone wants or needs them ♥️
