In autumn, the leaves fall from the trees. The metamorphosis of nature. A necessary one. Nature is getting ready for winter. As the sap flows from the trees back to the trunk, the branches lose their leaves. The branches let go, to survive themselves, so they will not freeze in the winter cold. In spring, the leaves will blossom again and the tree will be stronger than ever.
Autumn is a wonderful symbolism for the theme of letting go. Letting go in order to survive. Letting go in order to move on by yourself. Letting go in order to become stronger. Letting go and seeing the beauty of what letting go can mean for you.
In times of chaos, a beautiful autumn forest brings me intense peace. The colors are beautiful, with red, golden yellow, brown and ochre leaves. The leaves feel nice under my feet, and the wind makes everything dance. Even the rain can feel wonderful, when I dare to give myself over to it. All worries flow off me. I breathe in the peace and calm. And come to rest.
