welcome autumn!

pumpkins

candles

pumpkin pie

pumpkin spice latte

orange sunrises

pink sunsets

teas and teas

sweaters

scarfs

colorful leaves

crunchy leaves

…

autumn equinox

12 hours of light, 12 hours of darkness

as the sun crosses the equator

today

bring your focus and your energy

inward

as the outside world changes

set an intention for the months ahead

happy equinox!

E.

farewell to the summer

yes, you were a hot and humid one

somedays i got upset with you

but others i just loved that you were here

i’ll remember you as mornings and evenings

in my garden

 vegetables and flowers

smiling at me

and the sun bathing my golden skin

thoughts

they abruptly come

stealing a space in the mind

a space that wasn’t empty at all

but they are ruthless

they take us down without asking permission

isn’t worth to try controlling them

they become stronger with each block

the best is to let them come and go

we aren’t our thoughts

early mornings in the garden

a meditation per si

each step

each breath

each tiny droplet

bath me with joy

sharing the space

each stage has its own

beauty and fragrance

little by little

transforming

and gifting our senses

stop. breathe. listen.

to the sounds of nature

to your intuition

to the tiny bits of joy blooming around you

happy weekend!

inconsistency

i know what i need

but

sometimes it’s easier to give up

than to keep up trying

to fulfill my needs

Laying down words

From my soul to the paper

Secrets are written

Wishes are made

Trying to make sense

To go ahead

Without looking back
