Autumn Leaves

Fall is, I think, my favorite season.

The Autumn leaves fall so freely from the trees, a shedding of the old, a preparation for what is to come.  

In order to have new life, we must rid ourselves of what we hold on to.  Let go of hurt, of pain, of grudges.  Just as the tree lets go of the drying leaves, we too shed that which causes us trouble. 


~Below is a different thought on letting go ~


Generosity has such power because it is characterized by the inner quality of letting go or relinquishing. Being able to let go, to give up, to renounce, to give generously — these capacities spring from the same source within us. When we practice generosity, we open to all of these liberating qualities simultaneously. They carry us to a profound knowing of freedom, and they also are the loving expression of that same state of freedom.  Fall, then, is the perfect season to give generously of your time and talents to others.

May you find inner peace during this most beautiful season.
