Last seasonal update for 2025 | Like many people living in North America, I consider autumn to be my favorite season. This year has felt especially meaningful because I’ve been learning about Celtic spirituality...
You've been a real busy bee, dear friend. I often think of autumn as the final push before the darkness of winter sets in and so much seems frozen in place (altho that can be a welcome place of imposed rest). In the coming week there will be two snow events, both plowable. I'm grateful for it all. You may have watched the most recent recent episode of TJL with Lisa and Deb...Lisa did a lot of crying in that episode which I found both surprising and moving. If you haven't seen it, I encourage you to when you have a chance.
Hi Frances. I haven't watched the new episode. It sounds powerful. I will look for it!
I know that most people see autumn as an ending. To me, it's actually more of a gateway. Winter is my second favorite season, believe it or not. I'm not crazy about the cold, necessarily, but I associate the season itself with air (inspiration and new ideas) and find something resonant in it.
That said, I'm usually happy when the cold weather ends and you can go out without a coat again!
Thanks for you comments, Frances. It is always lovely to hear from you <3
