Signs

A touch of fall has been in the air the past few days, and it has been lovely. I've been asking for clarity recently, and it wasn't lost on me that in the same day, I came across many hearts-a-bustin with fruit bursting forth, and a chrysalis. Hmmm, am I being reminded that sometimes, our hearts must break open before we can move into the new life waiting for us? I am paying attention to the signs and synchronicities, moving step by slow step in the direction I'm being led. Have you had any obvious signs or synchronicities in your life you're willing to share?

Home Again

After a lovely week at the beach, Joseph & I are back home. We read, relaxed on the beach, read, visited our favorite plus some new thrift stores, read, walked on the beach & read. It seems all but one lone hummingbird left for warmer climes while we were away. The leaves are beginning to cover the ground in places. I spotted a chrysalis shortly before we left, on a tarp covering the cistern, of all places. It had beautiful gold specks that shimmered like the real thing. The chrysalis was empty when we returned, but I did spot another caterpillar on the milkweed yesterday. Speaking of reading, I got a great book at the library, See You in a Hundred Years. It's the story of a NY city couple who moved to rural VA to live as they did in 1900. So far, a pretty interesting read.
