Meditation: Time To Fall

<p>Do you remember when you were a leaf?  Let us join the free fall colors of the season and practice what nature is so rhythmically good at.</p> <p>Letting Go.</p> <p> </p> <p>The beloved classic band, the Beatles, famously sang a mantra I wear around my wrist,  ”Let it be.” Let it be.</p> <p>If you are on the path of seeking joy, this only can be with the cooperation of releasing the weights you no longer want to carry.</p> <p>In Response to The all too distracting world – if we are mindful, we can be re-directed inward.</p> <p>As we observe, we let it all be, and we turn inside to check in on our barometers, mindfully.</p> <p>Physically, mentally and spiritually.</p> <p>It may take all your will to get away to the woods, or into nature.</p> <p>Consider what is happening in our world,</p> <p>and consider what a freedom it is to walk for an hour outdoors,</p> <p>honoring and acknowledging your thoughts and feelings.</p> <p>Rumi wrote; some 900 years ago:</p> <p> </p> <p>The news we hear is full of grief for that future,</p> <p>but the real news </p> <p>inside here,</p> <p>is that there’s no news at all.</p> <p> </p> <p>Our attention leads to our intention.</p> <p>We always are free to decide what and who to listen to, and nature is still there – it re-connects us with the bliss and the wisdom of silent attention.</p> <p> </p> <p>So now, let us fall.</p> <p class="p1"> </p> <p class="p2">(Molly Jo Triplett is a photographer, certified mindfulness meditation teacher, nature lover & poet.
