As nature comes to rest above ground, the real work takes place below the surface. This is slow work, invisible to the eye.
Where do you pay attention to the slow work?
Moving underground
Playing with autumn
How do the leaves and colors invite you to be playful?
Through tree branches
Fall leaves turning and drifting to the ground, opening up spaces for new vistas. Cooler air bringing out new blues in the sky mixed with grey days that brighten the brilliance of the red and yellow, orange and burgundy colored leaves.
What is opening up for you as the leaves fall?
Diserts
The disert place of retreat was set up to discover the edge of glory, to experience the beyond that is in our midst. ‘Diserts’ are set up not to run away from what is going on but to experience in greater depth the reality that is about them. ~ David Adam, Border Lands
Where do you discover the edge of glory?
Preparation
May you grow still enough to hear the small noises earth makes in preparation for the long sleep of winter, so that you yourself may grow calm and grounded deep within. ~ David Steindl-Rast
How do you grow into calm?
Changes
The air changes in the changing of the seasons. What are you anticipating? What are you letting go? What surprises?
