It seems I've taken the summer off....
Not intentionally, I assure you. It just sort of happened that way.
Time starts up...and doesn't let go until it's time to move on. In this case, the next gig is Fall.
Personally, I always dread Fall. Certainly not for it's vibrant colors, warm layers, pumpkin treats, or football extravaganza's.....mostly Fall just signify's an end. And a beginning into a place with less light and less....freedom.
This has been my sad perception, at least.
When I get to this place each year...it gets me thinking about time. Specifically, during this year.
There's always the saying..."time is fleeting". And there's always the chatter of a child grown so big. Where did the time go?! The truth of the matter is, my absence during my favorite season wasn't intentional...but it wasn't quite an accident either.
I was busy being present.
Although now, some of my time feels like a million years away (sniff, sniff) (drama queen!)...I was 100% there. 100% ready to experience and be part of what was happening around me. And happening in my favorite corners of the earth (mainly, the beach). I didn't move with agenda, necessarily. And I didn't quite move with purpose. For once.
Being purposeful and moving with action have their place, for sure. But for the last few months...it wasn't their time. Not with me. It was time to settle, be present, and take as many full breaths as possible.
This entire concept is hard for even me to understand. But I do know I let it happen.
And I'm entirely grateful for the space I created.
So now, with the changing winds and changing temperatures...I welcome time's pace. I put truth and action in the place of fear. I'll find liberation and freedom inside myself. I'll allow a deeper sense of presence to touch me in a different way, during this different time.
AND...I'll encourage you to do the same!
Love, love, LOVE!
