Letting Go..

It is getting colder and darker and I feel a chill in my bones. This time of year always makes me a bit melancholy. The autumn marks the time when day and night are equal length. This reminds me of how I need to balance light and darkness within myself. I watch the leaves fall off the trees and I think of how nature’s cycles mirror my own life. I contemplate the difficulty of letting go, like the last fall leaves clinging on to the branches, I sometimes cling to painful emotions.
