Seasons of Life

The beauty of Autumn is the precursor to Winter's survival.

​Autumn is showing her face, rising in tones of earth colored jewels. The leaves are changing color, beginning to fall, as nature readies herself, releasing, moving to what is essential; conserving, not just to survive, but at some future moment, thrive in an even fuller, more glorious expression.  In the coming months, as winter approaches, these same trees will appear stripped and barren but under the right conditions, blossoming occurs anew.  We recognize this teaching as the Wintery Tree nyāya.  There are seasons in each life.  Each one in our own time, also must shed, release in order to protect and survive.  And with care and proper nourishment, the individual too blossoms anew, as siddhis are revealed permitting a fuller expression of our humanity.  What must be done? Sometimes all we can do is ask what is the next best thing?  The cumulative nature of practice/study rises to support from deep within.  More and more we recognize that support and are able to cooperate with it.  And in that, we partner the goddess in the expression of our individual splendor. 

Meditation is beyond the realm of mind and our sense of self with its likes and dislikes; it is the journey to source place from which these arise.   In melting individual awareness in its cosmic source we know more of who we truly are.  We are rendered able to naturally release what no longer serves and capable of creating, with great artistry, more of what does.  Meditate.
