So many times people tell me they hate the fall, except the leaves of course. Their reason usually is that they feel like the Earth is dying.
I do not think the Earth is dying so much as she is going to sleep. When I lay down at night one of my favorite times is just as I snuggle into the pillow and feel the cool crispness of the linens. I breathe slowly and then I snuggle into my soft blankets.
This is how I picture the fall. The Earth is finally laying down to go to sleep. Rest is exciting because the realm of dreams lies in sleep. Rest is good when we feel confident that we will awake again the next day refreshed.
I love October, it has to be hands down in my top 2 months of the year, especially around here. I feel that wonderful zing of energy in the autumn, much like I do as I walk up the stairs to my bedroom each night and know that peaceful sleep awaits me.
“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”
