Notes from Nature

Notes from Nature

It’s windy now. Time to shift.

The trees said let go.

The changing leaves reveal what has 

been dormant inside, what is ready to be

Acknowledged and released.

Do you see it? 

An amalgam of colors revealing

The magnificence of transitions.

Red anger, passion, desires,

fears and frustration.

Yellow joy and laughter, 

Strength and power struggles.

As the leaves fall we gain an understanding of

Trust and surrender, death and rebirth.


It’s cold now. Time to go inside.

Crunching leaves a reminder to listen.

Shorter days say it’s time to rest.

Longer nights beg you not to fear the darkness

Because it is only through the darkness

That we will truly see our Light.
