for me, it's hard to reconcile autumn. a time of abundance, but also emptiness. my cupboards and my belly may be full but autumn is always a painful reminder that it is my soul that needs to be fed.

abundance
sometimes it's hard to remember that this is the season of abundance. the opposite of what the native americans call the "hungry months" of winter. it's hard to remember to give thanks for the harvest when you notice how shadows have grown long and the light is changing.

I love autumn and am grateful for when things slow a little. The afternoon light this time of year has inspired painters for thousands of years. Love your images and words. Lets carve out some real time together soon.
this was a magical/pivotal summer full of jumping-in and being open-which puts a lot of pressure on the fall... but nothing is impossible. maybe we'll skip down one weekday afternoon after the preschool-day is done??
you are in my heart so much.
yes. i get this. fall the abundance of harvesting,
colors, but eventually death. the search. we made our moment today that felt so much ike all of that. our family of 5 complete.
xoxo
