September 2022
There’s a season for growing and a season for scaling back.
A season for doing and a season for undoing.
A season for reaching out and a season for reaching in.
There's a season for singing and a season for listening.
A season for leading and a season for following.
A season for going and a season for staying.
There’s a season for creating and a season for taking it all in.
A season for moving and a season for standing still.
A season for being and a season for becoming.
It can be subtle, that line in between. Is this a season of leading or one of following? Are we creating or recreating? Are we moving or standing still with the world spinning around us?
It's hard to tell, sometimes.
The beauty of it all is that seasons change and shift all on their own, a continuous cycle of ebbs and flows. Lean into that rhythm. We can’t have a season of growing without a season of pruning; we can’t have a season of creating without a season of resting and taking it all in. We can’t become the person we want to be without being content with who we are first.
There’s a season for it all.
Regardless of where you find yourself today (this week, this month), know this: September marks the beginning of a new season, and with that comes an invitation to change, to experience something new.
Sometimes, it’s about stepping away, getting a fresh perspective, settling into a new place for a while.
Sometimes, it’s about creating space for spontaneity in our schedules: more time for long walks and hand-holding and good conversation; for keeping quiet company and practicing solitude; for playing music for no one other than yourself; for doing and sharing life with others.
Make space for creativity and reflection, doing and being, moving and standing still. Whatever this season looks like for you, may it bring with it room to breathe, room to learn, room to grow.
