Autumn leaves lay scattered around in swathes
For the first year ever I allow them to rest where they lie
And see the beauty rather than the mess
And this is the lesson of a leaf
That there comes in every life
A time to die
A time to surrender
And let go
To allow the breeze to carry you
And scatter you
Where it will
I watch my lovely Jasper
Lying belly down in a pile of leaves
His eyebrows complimenting
The season’s shades of russet and gold
And I recognise what manifold blessings
You have bestowed upon us
They lay scattered like diamonds
Amidst the coal
Reminding me that
This entire living world
Is deeply rich
Deeply meaningful
Implicitly filled with soul
Emerging From The Dark Night 
Beautiful. We are at the other side of the cycle.

This gave me shivers. It’s such an interesting, beneficial perspective to take, to see the world like that, the life cycle, the beauty rather than the mess. Absolutely love it Ā ā„

I am finding this kind of perspective liberates me too Caz.. . I just walked past a bus stop and there was a poster for Lifeline on it and it said this HOPE as Hang On Pain Ends.. sometimes it seems like our pain will never end but if we can embrace the letting go it does change. Love to you xoxo
