As Fall may finally be peeking it's head out...I am ready for it and waiting.
I need the softness it begets in me, the intimacy it summons.
In the mean months of Summer, I swell with confusion,
lost in my body's resistance to stay outward and flit about.
From the dark underbelly of the earth, it grows upwards in a slow crawl of secrecy, seducing us in it's subtle arrival. I lavish it's return.
The sweet smell of plant life sticks in the air, flowing through me and leaving it's trace all around my face. A smile grows; not unlike the smile of a wolf as it walks through a quiet forest.
My soul feels welcomed at last...by something. Home perhaps?
Quieted by the silence it creates as the earth grows calmer, I grow within.
The tension in my sides relax, my heart beats in time with the wind and I feel aligned with the world. Settled.
Fall is coming, can you feel it? It's seeping in.
