Clinging, shaking, shivering
Whispering silent secrets
Waving goodbye
Letting go
Floating, swirling, dancing
Laughing at the freedom
Colorful flurry of joy
Oh the peace of weightlessness
Falling to the earth
Sharing life, giving back
Laying quiet, dissolving,
losing self
Becoming one with all things
Knowing that this end gives
life to a new beginning
Fall colors become winter’s
purity
A silence settles in
Comfort arrives in a white
calming blanket
The noisy chatter gives way to
peace
The season of rest begins
Promising the renewal of an awaiting
spring
Fall is a beautiful reminder to let go of all that is
unnecessary in order to preserve energy for what is most nourishing. Just as the trees shed their leaves for the
winter, so must we shed ourselves of all that no longer serves us. We may cling to these things at first feeling
like we won’t be whole without them, but as they float away in the wind, we are
filled with joy and freedom. Freedom from
what weighs us down, freedom from what blocks our view of the sun and takes our
energy without giving any back. Take a
moment to watch the leaves fall and picture what things in your life you could
allow to fall away leaving room for what really feeds your soul.
