It’s 41° today and I am smiling. With the nighttime temperatures in the 30s the autumn colors should be arriving in full force any moment, right before my very eyes.
Fall is my favorite.
Today I am immersed in the wind, listening to it rush through all of the leaves, the grass and trees. Grinning like a goon with freezing fingertips. You know how the wind sometimes feels like it beats you up? Today is not one of those days. It is enlightening, exhilarating, phenomenally powerful. It is welcome, swirling, wild and alive. Carrying with it scents of pumpkin bread, warm tea and fireplaces. Maybe these are only in my mind, but either way, I am ready to get cozy.
The air smells like winter today. There is fresh bear scat everywhere and new warnings of grizzly sightings. And I just ran into a moose, startled when the tree trunks next to me started to move as it grazed along in the leaves. We were 10 feet apart.
Fall is awakening. Approaching just in time for my beautiful human mother's birthday. Recently, I discovered part my purpose of being on Earth and it's one my mom has known about me my whole life. She used to call me the great observer. Stopping, noticing nature, observing and loving Mother Nature and the nature of others. Now I am sharing my observations more and more. It feels wonderful to do so.
My aunt shared the following with me. YES.
As I crossed the river for the third time, something magical happened. Years of heaviness began to release right out the back of my body. From my low back to my shoulders all the way along my spine. Like a flood gate opened. To me it felt like boulders, a heavy landslide full of water and rocks came crashing down and out. As I walked along, the earth collected the rocks and boulders like gifts I was handing out. She was so happy to lighten my burdens. The wind handled them just fine, carrying them away as if they were feathers, leaves or dandelion seeds.
The morning walk ended and I found myself with untamed hair and covered in goosebumps. Mostly from the profound release and a few from the chill in the wind.
Whatever you can do to help yourself feel safe: do that. It is easier to release the heavy things we silently carry when we feel safe. To me, a walk in the wind with possible grizzly bears and moose feels like home. I love the wild and the natural order of things in the wilderness makes sense to my soul.
Where do you feel safe?
Allow life to unfold. Let the wind carry your burdens away. It’s asking to help you and it can handle it.
Mother Nature, I love you.
