I have had so much on my mind lately - so many changes are about to happen to me, and it's hard to make sense of them. How to quiet the mind in times like this? How to integrate all the aspects of myself? I tried "automatic" writing today - just letting my thoughts and feelings flow onto paper. I felt much calmer after doing that. In a sense it was a form of meditation for me. Allowing thoughts to flow - not judging them - and releasing them onto the paper.

I've had a number of very strange dreams lately too. Many with the colors of autumn. What does the fall represent? The end of growing, abundance in the form of color and food, yet a time to be thinking about preparation - getting ready for the winter that will come. Storing the food, cutting back on the extravagance of growth of summer to protect the home and hearth - a busy time, yet a time of anticipation. A transitional time - what will winter be like? What will that quiet time be about?

I'm sad to have to remove the "so i say" blog from my list - I clicked on it today, but she has revoved it. I've enjoyed Full Moon Graphics and that's where I learned about blogger, so I had wanted to include her "blog". It was fun to read, but I have to admitt that many of the links were quite depressing with their complaints and grousing. Maybe it's just my mood, though. Luckily there is lots of stuff to look at on the web that is beautiful and uplifting. Like MizKitty's graphics! :)
