Nature always has teachings for us if we are open to ‘listening’ and ‘seeing’ in a different way.
These tiny leaves on my deck have been falling from the locust tree next to Joyful Pause Cottage. they have served as a few reflections of late. Normally I’d get the broom out and throughout the fall season, I’d try to keep up on sweeping them away so I don’t drag them into my house or cottage.
But I realized what an effort that is. I was going against the flow. Why not just allow them to be as they are meant to be?
This morning listening to an astrologer on YouTube she was talking about what she sees for our future as a world as we move forward.
What really stopped me in my tracks as I was going about my morning routine was when she said, “We are our own commodity.”
I reflected back to my post from about a week ago titled “Let’s Come Together and Trust.”
It’s then that I realized the leaves were reflecting what the astrologer said and what I’d written about. While they’d been scattered about all over my deck for a few weeks, obviously the winds have shifted, and they are now gathered in these small piles here, there, and everywhere.
They have formed their own little communities. The winds of our world are shifting too. Can you feel it? I have felt it in some ways, though I know it’s going to take time and patience for all of this to come to fruition – that more need to awaken so we can live in more harmony.
It begins with honoring the flow within ourselves, nature, and then together as a world. I’m feeling more hopeful lately that this can happen and that we can experience a world as we’ve never seen before. So those days I feel frustrated or lose hope, I’m going to remember to turn to Mother Nature as a reminder – and to go with the flow and trust.
