Outside the Window
The sun is shining. You’d think it would be warm, but it’s not. The autumn came and brought its coolness. I can almost smell the spiced treats of the season. It’s the perfect day to sip tea and cozy up next to the cats.
Autumn is my favorite time of year. Not just because it's my birth season, but because I'm better suited for the cooler weather. I'm a sweater and boots type of lady. Also, I love me some scarves.
It's also a time where I usually reflect a lot over my life. Over life in general. It's a time where memories can be felt in my blood, and people who are gone come back to the forefront of my thoughts. It's a weighty season, but not in an oppressive way.
Days like today, I'm more at peace and more myself than I am at any other time of year. The air is refreshingly crisp after the long, hot, suffocating, months of summer.
Days like today, I want to be in the woods. I want to listen to the sounds of the Earth and be "present," in a simple, and primitive sort of way.
"Get back to your roots."
That's what my soul says; what it longs for.
Today is a healing day.
