Autumn Endings
Nothing is ever so beautiful in its dying than leaves are in the autumn.
Autumn equinox always seems such a natural time to turn inward, realign, and release. It is a season so suited for sadness – the emotion that helps us do that very thing – let go of what needs to be let go.
So often, it is the sadness that is judged for being unwelcome or uncomfortable. In truth, sadness is often like a mother to us – knowing what is best and gently nudging us when something is no longer working in our lives and it is time to move on.
Usually, we resist.
That resistance is okay and to be expected…to a point.
Sometimes what seems to be not working just needs a change – maybe a conversation, maybe a different perspective. Sometimes what is not working could work again, if something else in our life is changed. There are no absolutes when dealing with the watery realm of our emotions. They flow in and out, often with many undercurrents that we are unaware of in the moment. But we can be sure that they are always operating for our highest good, as best they can.
If sadness is showing up for you as this autumn season cools and darkens the northern hemisphere, ask yourself these questions:
What needs to be released?
What needs to be restored?
Perhaps you may find some insights that can help you take a next step in your journey. Remember - to make space for the new, we must let certain things pass away.

So true! Sadness is a part of our emotional being that tells us that something needs to be taken care of. I like the way you put it!
Thanks! All of our emotions are important. Part of the work that I do teaches just that. :)
Yes indeed it is a time to quieten down. I also love the fact that it brings me to realise that it is coming to the end of the year and Christmas is coming. Then there is the excitement of a new year! Thanks for the reminder indeed!

I steal the leaves
But I'll bring them back in Spring
So appropriate for this moment! Thank you. Your writing is like a whisper in the wind.
Thanks for sharing this lovely insight!
I guess we should really let go of what needs to be let go, why carry something that may damage us psychologically and make it affect our health. Thanks for sharing this with us!
