autumnal reminders to self:
be kind to others, flowers, and yourself. it is a season of change for us all
work hard at what matters, and all else will follow
find your roots & let them ground you
as the trees prepare to rest, to settle deeply into themselves, so too should you. let go of that which is not serving you and lay yourself down to a deep, seasons-long, extended meditation
everything has its season. everything has its season.
every time you warm your feet in slippers, socks, and baths, feel that warmth stretch its sleepy little arms in your heart, too
taste the words you read. savour them. make literature-based vocabulary lists and revisit them with every hot cup of morning coffee
let out deep breaths that sounds like the wind ghosting down your chimney, through your attic, past your window
take a minute to stand in every downpour that catches you and feel very damp, very cold, and very wondrously, magically alive
sink breathlessly into relationships that give you warm, you-are-so-thoroughly-loved shivers: with lovers, friends, family, and yourself
