Even though it's still quite hot here in the South, lately I am noticing hints that Fall is coming. Some leaves on certain trees, like the dogwood above, are starting to turn colors. Yesterday late afternoon/early evening I could tell the light was different, it had a softer glow. And this morning is nice & cool. By August I am ready for Fall but I always seem to forget that the worse of the summer heat is upon us! I'm so happy it's September & I can start looking forward to a little bit cooler weather.
I think it is so important for us to become more connected with nature & the circle of the seasons. To really live in it & be apart of it. In this modern world we are so disconnected from nature as if we are above it all instead of part of it. We can live however we want whenever we want. We hardly pay attention to the seasons except for the holidays. The past few years I've really been making it my goal to try to live more in tune with the seasons & follow each seasons lead. Pay more attention to the food in season, activities to really honor, books to enjoy & learn about each season.
Here is a lovely quote I found by Thoreau~
Live each season as it passes, breathe air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each. Let them be your only diet, drink & botanical medicines. ~Henry David Thoreau~
