~ Sacred Space~

 

                                    Fall is here. The sun is getting weaker

and the days are growing shorter and darker. Mother Nature is preparing

flora and fauna for a much deserved nap & slowly  tucking the Earth in for a 

short sleep to recharge and to renew.  Squirrels are foraging

and burying their bits of food for a long winters feast while some animals

are preparing for hibernation.

Trees are dropping their leaves and spreading a blanket of warmth

on the ground below, protecting the new shoots

of growth that will begin in the Spring. Birds are migrating to a warmer

climate as Father Time brings us to the close of another 

season and Mother Earth begins her slumber and prepares for a new

circle around the sun once again.

*******

As nature prepares for her quiet introspection and rest, the long nights of winter will soon

overtake us all. We too must take care of ourselves and prepare for 

our own inward journey. A time to center and ground & rejuvenate our soul.

A time to rest and restore our spirit ~  our own hibernation of sorts...

as we travel from light to dark and back to light again...

Wisdom is a long journey that the soul is perpetually travelling...so get used

to the long, winding  road ahead!

******* 

Just as nature finds it's

comfort zone to battle the

long cold months ahead , we must also find our own comfort zone

to quiet the mind and to cope with life and it's changing seasons.

 A sacred space or place 

where we feel peace and comfort...

a favorite chair, a walk in the

woods, the beach, the mountains, a favorite spot,

 a place where we feel safe.  Finding daily solitude

to stop and reflect on and release random thoughts and  events to are

needed to center the soul and unwind. Find your sacred space

and let it become your sanctuary.
