If I could wrap September up and put it in a box with a bow, I would. Thank you, September for your shifting, rearranging, and asking for “the truth and nothing but the truth!” In fact, you demanded it. You were relentless in the poking and prodding through presenting conflict and pressing in on tender spots. Why would you do that? To show us what was not healed or okay. To show us ourselves and to show us others. To peel back our tightly shut eyelids. September said, “You are going to see this. You are going to acknowledge this. Seasons are changing and this energy I have ushers in this change. I am the bridge between your summer season and your autumn.” (loosely translated and quoted by me 🙃)
It’s preparation for harvest and the slowing down of some things and the bustling of other things. I mean, it is work bringing in a harvest and planting depending on what part of the world you are in. So, planting in fall depends on what season you are in, in your life. And it doesn’t have to be sweat of the brow planting. It’s also time to take inventory of your year without judgement. WITHOUT JUDGEMENT. WITHOUT JUDGEMENT! DID I SAY WITHOUT JUDGEMENT? When I took inventory on a job, I didn’t say, “Oh you stupid box of staples! How did we use so many? What a waste of staples! You are such an idiot printing paper. We have more of you than we thought. Why didn’t you speak up earlier?” No. I just took inventory, accessed, analyzed, and presented my findings. We took it from there. So, no judgement.
Thank you September. I am sure I wasn’t easy to work with.
