“And the sun took a step back, the leaves lulled themselves to sleep, and autumn was awakened.”
~ Raquel Franco
“Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.”
~ Emily Bronte
“Autumn leaves don’t fall, they fly. They take their time and wander on this their only chance to soar.”
~ Delia Owens
“There is something so special in the early leaves drifting from the trees – as if we are all to be allowed a chance to peel, to refresh, to start again.”
~ Ruth Ahmed
Autumn has always been my favourite season. It brims with nostalgia, and everything seems to burst with its last breath of beauty for a grand finale. Fall forces us to accept inevitable and inescapable change! And in its finest essence it is a reminder that all things come to an end. But in that reality, autumn offers the opportunity to not just morn our losses but to be grateful for all that we have and what lies ahead.
There is no better opportunity to spend time in nature to soak in the abundance and prosperity of the season, and the splendors all around us. Remember this is our chance to embrace the transformation and all that it offers. And a reminder that self-awareness means staying in harmony with the changing season. A change that opens rich and insightful gifts. Look for the gifts and use them to fall forward.
“Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves change.”
~ Elizabeth Lawrence
