The first week of fall and I can feel the difference in so many ways. It was like yesterday when I had to put my shades on because the sun was rising up and I drive east all the way to work. And now it’s dark when I leave home, and sunrise is delayed. The air is crisp and a little chilly. I still don’t need a sweatshirt yet, but full sleeves feel good. The weather change can be a reminder that we need to be flexible. The things which were necessary yesterday are no longer important today.
I still can see green everywhere, but some of the trees are already changing color and are ready to get rid of the old leaves.
Last Saturday, Action Museum had a caterpillar lab when I took my group there, and I saw a larva becoming a pupa, leaving the old skin.
I think it’s nature‘s way of reminding us to let go of things which don’t serve our purpose. It might be values, philosophy, habits, lifestyle, and sometimes people.
The cleaning of the house, letting go of old stuff, is another reminder. Like our spring or fall cleaning, we need to declutter our mind too. This might be a time to look into adopting a new lifestyle, upgrading the philosophy, trying a new hobby, or changing the genre of movies or books.
Just stepping away from day-to-day chores and mindset, taking a break, and thinking differently.
Let’s adopt the change in season and do some more - inside and out.
A simple cotton for work. Festival season upon us, time to take some of my silks out.
