theMessenger - Falling (Oct 07)

October 2007

Autumn is a second spring
when every leaf is a flower.
- Albert Camus

September blew through me like a sudden storm. I am in awe that yet another month has passed so quickly. Yet the bloom of color outdoors is making October quite real. And my world continues to shift and blow with the autumn winds. It is a blissful ride.

This month, the message is simple. I invite you to be mindful of all that falls around you. Become intoxicated by your own sensations of this magical season. Smell how the air breathes a certain crispness. Taste the flavor of new earth freshly dampened. Take time to look up. Yes, up. The wisdom of the trees is beckoning to you from above. If you pause long enough, you will find yourself on a high of sorts, drinking in the colors of fall. And if you dare, reach out and touch nature with your dance by letting pieces of you - those you are ready to shed - rejoin the earth with the autumn leaves at your feet.

Free your warm summer heart.
May it quiver and shake to the surface
blossom in colors vast
and fall to the earth once more.

Falling on Purpose,
Candice
