Season Change

The wind is howling, and a change of season is in the air.

I gather all the outdoor plants around me,

on a spot in the grass.

I cut back the old, the dead, and scraggly parts.

Pulled out weeds, and released roots from being bound. 

Larger pots filled with fresh soil, 

and plants placed in their new space.

Ready now, for their transition indoors.

A place to thrive, and continue to grow.

It all feels a little symbolic.

Polly chases the leaves...then a butterfly,

and disappears.

Checking on her minutes later, 

I find her transfixed on a groundhog that just dug it's

way under the fence into our yard.

Right on cue.

I too become transfixed.

Then I turn to get my camera, and it is gone.

Journal notes:

Only you get to choose what dreams align with your soul.

'Our future is our bodily destiny combined with what

we create through our evolving actions & thoughts.'

'Your deepest intuitions are confirmed as your body

feels rightness of what you hear.'

You make your future anew everyday.

Your answers are inside of you.

"Don't exhaust yourself trying to figure out

what has not yet been revealed."

Allow yourself to be led.

Trust and take heart. God's at work & has your back.

"When you knock, ask to see God...

not any of the self-appointed intermediaries."

~Thoreau~

removing yourself from external matters.

Perpetual student.

Love studying and excavating new information.

Cultivating all the knowledge they can possess.'

"Groundhog teaches you how to find peace in isolation,

all while showing how to sink your teeth into 

ambitions."

" As you enter different stages or seasons of life,

Groundhog acts as a guide for understanding, 

acceptance, and internalization."

"Connect with the new you!"

Mmm..hmmm...!

Thank you groundhog...

 your timing was impeccable.

be well...

"Everything happens for a reason-

the highs, the lows, the wins, the losses.

The ones who arrive 

and the ones who walk away.

Nothing is by chance.

Every moment carries a lesson,

and every lesson leads you closer to 

your purpose."

"Either you go after the life you want

or you settle for the life you get."
