I know I shared winter last week but my guides just gave me autumn as it isn't over yet!
It is a beautiful fall day and you are in a wood with colorful leaves covering the ground. Not all of the leaves have fallen from the trees and the wood appears glowing with color from all directions. You sit on the leaves in the middle of this wooded area; the trees around you are not very big so the sun pours down on you from above. The ground below you is warm from the sun and you feel comfortable although the air is a bit cool. As you sit you are approached by a rabbit. The rabbit comes almost a foot away from you and looks at you as if it has something to tell you. You try to understand what it is trying to tell you, as it also sits upon the leaves. The rabbit looks towards the trees and you begin to hear the wind rustle the leaves.
The sun shines down through the trees and you see it glint off of the water of a small stream. You approach the stream and the rabbit follows you. The rabbit looks pointedly at the water and sits. You also sit and listen closely to the sound of the stream. You hear the water running over the rocks and pebbles and you notice that the sounds are not repetitive and that they are constantly changing. It is hard to tell the differences at first as it all just sounds just like running water but as you continue to listen and focus on the sounds of the stream you hear the slight changes to the sound of the water every time. The rabbit looks at you again and you now know that this is the lesson he wanted to share.
You know that the sounds of the stream apply to your own life. If you pay close attention to your daily life you will notice the small changes that move you closer to your goal. Autumn is not a time of rapid change. It is a time for making small incremental progress toward your goal and paying close attention to what is happening around you as well as the internal changes that are occurring. You thank rabbit for this lesson and continue to relax to the sound of the stream.
I hope to journey with you again soon!
