Autumn Offers Many Spiritual Reflections

Autumn offers many spiritual reflections.

As each new season approaches, nature shares her wisdom on the gift of renewal.

Autumn offers many spiritual reflections.

The constant visual change of its landscape making it easier for the soul to understand.

In this way, inviting us to pause for introspection and gaze into our own heart’s landscape.

  By doing so we make room for our own spiritual growth.

Changing leaves become our teachers, our guide to transition and letting go.

At first, they change colors, showing us that change can be beautiful.

Yet as the leaves begin to fall, we are reminded of life’s temporariness.

Every leaf begins anew, changes color and then drifts to become mulch.

It no longer serves the tree.

This can encourage us to embrace change and let go of what no longer serves us.

We can shed negative thoughts, behaviors and relationships.

By doing so we make room for our own spiritual growth.

 With spiritual reflection and introspection, we can become vulnerable.

With  spiritual reflection and introspection, we can become vulnerable.

Similar to the bare trees after they shed their leaves.

Vulnerability need not be a sign of weakness rather a source of enormous strength.

Trees stand tall and know that their roots are strong in spite of their bareness.

Vulnerability gifts us trust in ourselves.

As well as with those we share our true self with.

Leading to deeper and more meaningful relationships.

Especially with ourselves.
