CHANGE, LOSS, DEATH, GRIEF, LETTING GO
In October we bear witness to many changes in the natural world: days become shorter and cooler, trees begin to release their hold on leaves. October is a threshold month, inviting us to step consciously from the verdant fields of Summer into the scarcity of Winter.
It is a month in which we are reminded that nothing is more constant than change.
That constant, and the way it can take us by surprise, chill us with fear, anger, denial and resentment (or, conversely, inspire joyful anticipation and relief) is one of the hallmarks of human experience. It unites us with loved ones, friends and strangers the world over.
This month you are invited to notice the changes, the loss, and responses to loss evident within all the landscapes of your life and beyond.
What are they, and what feelings do they prompt? What or whom are you needing to release, in order to move more freely into this new season? What inner spaciousness might you find or create in doing so? How might you be a source of insight, inspiration, and courage to those who walk a similar path?
