A Southern Tribute
There’s beauty in the traditions of the South that cannot be described but merely felt. The ways of honoring the deceased and the respect shown to the family is unparalleled elsewhere in the States. And the ways in which we share in our grief, us Southerners I mean, is comforting, caring, and uplifting in way I did not recall or notice as a child. The silver lining of funerals and the passing of our loved ones is that it brings family and friends together.
Fall Frolics
Hellooooo Spooky Season! Spider webs remind us about creativity and finding patterns in the world. The changing leaves display vibrancy that awes and inspires us. When we feel the wind swirl the leaves we sense the tug of the season demonstrating to us that letting go is the healthy path forward. This particular week in Autumn offered us glimpses of magic—a comet burning brightly, a Full Hunters Moon as the biggest full moon all year, and you learning to be content with it all.
Synchronicity
What I’m alluding to, more than my trite experience, is the times in our lives we have found meaning from happenstance. The correlation feels spot on and all the feels hit just right or illuminate something previously hidden in the psyche. That time a song came on the radio that answered the question in your head. When you turned around at the right time to not be mauled. The stranger you shared a laugh with that saved your day. All of the minuscule moments that draw meaning down into the core of us. Synchronicity.
