It’s the time of year when the world is struggling to transition to Winter. Here in Denver, the leaves are dead but attached to their branches in varying states of color changes, but caught by surprise in the First Freeze, before they were ready.
A part of me still wants to go barefoot as if it’s the summer and is caught off guard by how cool the mornings are. In the weeks before Halloween and changing clocks, which will shorten our days and move us towards darkness.
It is Invisible Disabilities Week once more. This is a time of awareness and connection for the people affected by illness and disability who are living full lives, but outside the norms of full-time work or school and yet, yearning for fulfillment, creativity and focus on meaningful life purposes. They know they are unique and here for a specific role and purpose, but they are no longer willing to bump their head against the brick wall of the struggle for a ‘normal’ life any more.
It is near when the Northern Hemisphere will curl up into the darkness of Winter. But Spiritual Beings want to work quietly on fulfilling their family lives and pursuing important spiritual work and creative passions. It is a good time to seek healing and moving towards Joy and Purpose.
