Amazing what resonates with others. To some degree I felt as though I was just whining when I wrote this BLOG. Well there you go. Along with disquiet I acknowledge that I don’t know what I think I know. Thats what ancient vedic scriptures say, “He (sic) who thinks he knows, knows not.) We’ve had the first freeze and those who know apples say this is the time to pull them down. The sugars are just right after the first freeze. Off to pick. Christie, not sure about the sweet pie, there are no dead rabbits yet but Glenn Close could play the part beautifully if you know what I mean. Leah, thank you for the honor you’ve given my BLOG. That is just a nice thing to wake up to.

Ahh, always the question of balance. Being a Libra, it is foremost in my mind. Melissa, there is no such thing as perfect balance. Even in balance there is sway (think tree pose). With the coming of fall and various changes, hormonal and otherwise, it seems I’ve finally learned that these are phases that come and go. It’s the awareness that’s the gift and essential things like fruit trees and friends that keep us going. Christie’s comment about making a pie for the ex (and not a poison one) is very high thinking. Imagine if you did. Or you could just hold your head above the storm clouds that the young one is whipping up. Lovely images of fall, one of my favorite seasons. Thank you.

All of your thoughtful reflections point to a person already in balance. Dive into the balance and enjoy! The ups and downs of life, whether they come from the energy of the seasons or exes will always come to remind us of the balance that awaits us if we seek it!

Hello from the Great Northern Plains to the high country of the South West. Sweet Melissa you have captured all the disquiet that I feel at the onset of Autumn. The next season seems to bully Autumn’s red and gold days out of the way so quickly I am breathless. Allow you body and mind to shed the year and draw into your spirit, the balance will come. As for the ex-girlfriend… bake her a pie, add a little sugar.

Beautifully said. Our biorhythms need looking at and assessing now and then. The equinox is a good time for self-reflection, isn’t it? Enjoy your pies and jams while those of us without fruit-bearing trees smack our lips vicariously.

I think I’ll print this post and simply hand it to the next person who asks me, “How are you?” or “How’s it going?” because, Melissa, you’ve said it all.
