There’s something truly magical about the fall season.
What once was bright, lush and green turns to amber, orange,red, purple and brown. It’s more complex in texture and sound.
In many ways, it feels like the excitement is done, but it’s only shifting.
The flowers reaching up for the last bits of warmth. And those that have already withered now go to seed.
The fruit heavy on the vines, the roots plump beneath the soil. Feeling like everything is begging to be seen in its spectacular display of color, texture, and sound.
In awe of the transformation and growth of the tiny seed you planted, and the abundant thriving plant that it’s become.
Remembering back to the seeds you planted that never sprouted, never took root. Trusting that the right things flourished, and those that weren’t meant to be stayed still, waiting for the right conditions to thrive.
Fall is alchemy, entropy, determination, and surrender.
Looking at the dry leaves on the ground, watching them grow thin, withering. Knowing that those very fallen leaves nourish the soil for next springs seeds.
The comfort in understanding that the things that didn’t take root, or that have died away or were not in vain. They are the wisdom, information, lessons to be remembered and integrated.
Which of your seeds this year took root, sprouted tall, and gave fruit? Which of your seeds decided it wasn’t their time to grow?
What seeds are you saving to plant next spring? Where will you make room for what’s next?
