I love views like this one -- a straightforward path that appears to have no end. It captures the continuous nature of a way forward that is known and unknown at the same time. Standing here in Montauk on Saturday night as the day was coming to a close, I felt summer winding down and the expanse of a new season and all its potential ahead. This is another interim time where we can digest what we have just experienced and listen to what we want to call forth as fall gradually enters the stage.
Maybe the emergence of fall begins a time for you where routines find their place or where you move into a different gear? Or, maybe not much changes in your daily routine, but you feel some natural shift inside emerging, whatever the shift may be. If you didn't get to attend my end of summer workshops last week, I'll leave you with one of the prompts. How do you want to meet this fall? Whatever we may feel about the season itself (positive, negative, mixed, neutral, anything in between), we get to choose what energy we want to bring to it, what we want to lean toward, and what matters most to us in this next chunk of time we get the privilege of experiencing.
My invitation this week is to pause and ask yourself these questions:
~ How do I want to meet this fall? With what energy, feeling, way of being?
~ What matters most to me in these next few months?
You can journal on it, or just close your eyes and ask the questions and wait to see what feels true in response. You'll know because you'll feel a sense of "yes, that's it." Avoid giving a giant bucket list or overshooting with so much that sounds good, but is too tall an order to actually fill. Get to the core energy you want to bring to whatever may come and the core feeling of what matters most this particular season. Feel free to write to me with what you find. I am happy to be a witness. Or, share it with your partner, friend, close family member.
Wishing you all a beautiful close to these summer weeks.
