Remembering Balance

 

I don’t know about you but I’m noticing a lot of intensity around me at the moment.  There seems to be an ever widening gap between people facing extreme personal challenges and experiencing amazing new growth.  I don’t like either/or realities.  I’m an AND woman.  Yet, the dramatic flavor of life seems to just be what is right now. 

Amidst the bigness, we are entering Fall Equinox on September 22nd,  a time when day and night are equal.  In earth based traditions, people gather to recognize the harvest but also sort out what will offer sustenance as winter approaches. 

This year fall is offering me an opportunity to remember balance.  Whether life brings extreme lows or highs, each moment is an opportunity to remember to breathe, connect with the elements (earth, air, fire, water, spirit) and begin again with eyes and heart open wide.  In that process, I learn.  Whether outer circumstances line up in a challenging or beautiful way, I can be at peace by practicing balance.

Ah, and here I have found myself once again at AND☺.

So, as you sort through the wheat and the chaff during Fall, what tools can carry you through winter, no matter what?
