The way you use your time is the way you live your life.
Posted on October 7, 2009, under Transitions and Time.
Finding time for moving from summer into fall means finding time for assimilating change, letting go, and moving with your transition into a new place. The other day I posted the following quotation on Twitter:
Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.
Elizabeth Lawrence
To me, this statement isn’t only about stillness. It speaks to the ways in which stillness can be the base for (and a prelude to) movement.
As we find time to be still, we ground ourselves in the moment, in ourselves, and in our lives. Our feet touch the earth, and we have the traction to move.
It’s during times of transition that finding time for stillness can be especially important and sustaining. The turning leaves mark the transition of our seasons from summer to autumn. Everything around us is in a profound state of flux.
Being still and observing the flux in the world around us gives us the space to take in what is happening and then make a conscious choice to let go. We aren’t simply swept along – we are assenting to the transition that is happening in our world and flowing with it.
And that makes a whole world of difference!
