Harvest the Season

Autumn is here. Leaves turn brilliant shades and hues and by season’s end fall to the ground. Warm colors of rust and orange and brown replace the bright green of summer. In autumn, the growing cycle has been accomplished. Now it is time to bring in the sheaves—to gather the resources, and clear out and clean up the excess. 

Autumn gives us a marvelous opportunity to reflect upon the works of the year, go through our closets, and eliminate what takes up extra space. 

Soon the inward months come. But for now, it’s time to rake up leaves, stock our shelves, and enjoy the brisk weather and opportunities this season provides. Internally, we can distil, digest, and bring aspects we’ve been pondering throughout the year to fruition. It’s time for us to harvest our good—to embrace the season with gratitude and thanksgiving, and enjoy it in all its autumnal splendor.
