September Changes

It seems to me that January resolutions are about will; September resolutions are about authentic wants. . . . The beauty of autumnal resolutions is that no one else knows we’re making them. Autumnal resolutions don’t require horns, confetti, and champagne. September resolutions ask only that we be open to positive change. 
                - from Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach 

When autumn creeps in, change seeps into leaf color and crisps breezes as nature prepares for change. 

What changes do you feel around you this September?  

Take time to notice subtle messages nature sends.

Select scents to arouse your writing fingers. Listen for changes in sounds. Watch the day's progression into dusk. Feel your body's adjustments and sensations with the seasonal shift.

Reflect about changes you wish to initiate this month.

Awe of Autumn

Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower - Albert Camus

Autumn has crept in. 

Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature.
                                          - Gerard de Nerval









Flowers are the music of the ground; from earth's lips speak without a sound.  - Edwin Curran

Find a current that takes its time.

Have some fun!

Notice how a hippopotamus gets down from a tree.

It sits on a leaf and waits for fall.

Take in the color, shapes, and scents.

Celebrate the day.

Through Different Eyes

"Art is a personal act of courage. It's something one human does that creates change in another." 

- Seth Godin

Look around your living room at the amazement of products the human mind has created: appliances, digital clocks, computers, cell phones, mirrors, photographs, art objects, books, rugs, tables and chairs. Utility items we take for granted make life run.

Each required a view through different eyes to develop. Individuals had the courage to create change.

Art energizes the spirit.

During the day think about the human spirit and motivation to fill needs in positive ways. Also ponder how negativity seeps in and its effects on the process.

How does progress occur?

Recall all the changes and advances experienced in your lifetime. Consider personal, cultural as well as technological progress.

What have you added to the process?
