Hayat bu her şey değişir. duygular değişir insanlar soğur sevgiler biter ve her şey rengini bulur. tıpkı sessiz mevsimler gibi..

Akışına bırakmalı bazen. nasılsa hiçbir şey düşlendiği gibi gerçekleşmiyor artık..

I need autumn so bad it hurts.

No thoughts. Just fall foliage. I’m ready for it.

Along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia this weekend.

Pisgah National Forest. It was good seeing you today ❤️

As much time as I’ve spent in Pisgah. I’ve never seen it in the fall. When I left this place behind, it was green. Nothing speaks to the passage of time like seeing the tail end of fall. The colors peaking through empty trees ready for winter.

Those winter trees- just like I found it when I moved there last November. What’s strangely beautiful about leaving earlier. I always called Pisgah my home away from home. I knew exactly how to get to the coast from there. No navigation needed between two places which feels like home. Even if it’s a 5 hour drive now.

October along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Fall around the Waccamaw Neck looks a little different, but gosh I love it so much. This has always been my favorite time at home on the coast.

Got into the mindset that I would have to “miss out” on fall this year due to limited time in the mountains. But- Im not missing out on anything. I love my “back yard” more than anything in the world.

I am desperate for October.

Embracing the Autumn Equinox: Celebrating Nature's Harmonious Dance

October 11, 2023

As we bid farewell to the warm summer days, autumn gracefully makes its entrance with vibrant foliage, crisp air, and a sense of tranquility. The Autumn Equinox, also known as Mabon or Harvest Home, marks the transition from light-filled days to longer nights—a moment of balance between darkness and light. This celestial event offers an opportunity for reflection, gratitude, and celebration. In this blog post, let us delve deeper into what the Autumn Equinox signifies and explore ways to honor this enchanting seasonal shift.

Understanding the Autumn Equinox:

The word "equinox" is derived from Latin roots meaning "equal night." During the equinoxes, day and night are approximately equal in length all over the world. The Autumn Equinox specifically occurs around September 22nd in the Northern Hemisphere (and around March 20th in the Southern Hemisphere) when the sun crosses directly over Earth's equator.

Symbolically, it represents a harmonious dance between light and dark forces—the perfect balance before nature gradually tilts towards winter. It serves as a reminder that life is a constant cycle of birth, growth, decay, and rebirth.

Celebrating Nature's Bountiful Gifts:

1. Create an autumnal altar:

Designate a sacred space where you can connect with nature's energy. Decorate your altar with fallen leaves, acorns, pine cones, gourds, and other symbols of abundance. Add candles representing warmth and light amidst encroaching darkness.

2. Engage in mindful activities:

Take time to immerse yourself in nature's beauty by going on walks amongst colorful foliage or visiting local orchards or pumpkin patches. Engaging your senses through mindful practices like forest bathing or simply sitting outside can help foster a deep connection with the natural world.

3. Give thanks for blessings received:

The Autumn Equinox is an opportune time to express gratitude for the abundance in our lives. Reflect on the bountiful harvests of your own journey, both tangible and intangible. Write down what you are grateful for and consider sharing these blessings with loved ones or through acts of kindness.

4. Prepare seasonal meals:

Savor the flavors of autumn by preparing a feast using locally sourced produce such as apples, pumpkins, squashes, and root vegetables. Embrace traditional recipes that celebrate this time of year, like apple pies, roasted butternut squash soup, or warm spiced cider.

5. Release and renew:

Just as trees shed their leaves during autumn, we too can let go of anything no longer serving us. Take some time for self-reflection and contemplate what aspects of your life need releasing—a habit, a grudge, or perhaps limiting beliefs. Create space for new beginnings by setting intentions that align with personal growth.

The Autumn Equinox invites us to embrace change gracefully while recognizing the beauty in harmonious transitions. As daylight wanes and nature prepares for its winter slumber, take this opportunity to reconnect with the rhythm of the Earth and honor the gifts bestowed upon us. Celebrate this season mindfully by creating meaningful rituals that nourish your soul and foster a deeper connection to yourself and the natural world around you. Allow yourself to be present in this moment of balance—where light meets darkness—and find solace in knowing that change is an inherent part of life's eternal dance.
