Autumn is a time of year when we are invited to pause as the seasons shift from the vibrant growth of summer to the cold retreat of winter. As we think about trees and how they signal the autumn season, we are invited to explore the autumn in our own lives. The brilliant colors that explode onto the autumn landscape hold special significance and meaning within their pigments.
In the fall, trees shed their green chlorophyll and slowly begin to reveal their true hidden colors. Red, Orange, Yellow, Brown, Purple – colors that have been their all along but only now, in autumn, can they truly release and show their true essence. Just as a leaf changes color, we too need to let go of outdated patterns, beliefs, or habits that no longer serve us. Allow your true colors to shine through!
As a leaf falls onto the Earth, it decomposes and enriches the soil. This living soil is the base for future life. The space where roots take hold and grow. The leaves from this season will fall and nourish future seasons here on the farm. Autumn invites us to think of ourselves as leaves falling and what we are eventually leaving behind to nourish the future.
Autumn is a time to release, shine, and celebrate! Savor your Summer Growth. Gather your Harvest. Put Down Roots. Reflect. Celebrate, Give Thanks. Be in Community. Shine your True Colors! We wish you a colorful fall season!
