The Season Changes And We Let Things Die

The season is changing, so we have a golden opportunity to turn toward the Earth and learn from her cycles.

We get four of these opportunities a year and if you take this seriously, there is wisdom to integrate at each of these junctures.

We will explore the transition into the fall and check in with the invitations extended through this time.

Today we will cover:

1. The emergence of fall

2. Letting things die

3. Preparing the soil

The Emergence of Fall

If you live in a place with four distinct seasons, you can see the leaves starting to change.

Green is turning into magnificent shades of orange, yellow, red, and brown. The hills and mountains are vibrant with this palette change, and most of us enjoy the display.

Which is beautiful—because what you're enjoying is death.

Have you ever consciously noticed that?

Have you ever recognized how beautiful the death of this year’s growth is?

And how you might even make an effort to drive to beautiful places to witness this death?

Interesting, huh?

Because death in other facets of life is typically jarring. We avoid it. It’s not beautiful. And we probably wouldn’t choose to drive somewhere just to watch something die.

So why do we relish the fall season?

We aren’t separate from nature. As much as our powerful brains and fancy boxes (homes) can trick us into believing we are, it just isn’t the case.

We evolved with nature. We depend on these cycles, and something deep in our biology knows they matter.

So while the beauty in death might not always be conscious, it is wired into our DNA.

Letting Things Die

Each fall, the tree willingly lets all of its leaves fall to the ground, exposing its dry, withered branches, prepared to weather the coming winter.

It doesn’t hold onto the leaves; it knows that doing so would endanger it.

The impending storms and snowfall would cling to a tree with leaves. They would weigh it down, break its branches, and cause lasting damage that the tree might not recover from.

The tree knows this. It has to let go to survive.

A powerful metaphor for our lives, eh?

As the season changes, ask yourself these questions:

1. What in your life, like the leaves of a tree, is ready to be released?

2. What old patterns, beliefs, or habits no longer serve your growth?

3. What attachments are you holding onto out of fear, even though they’ve fulfilled their purpose?

4. How can you create space for new growth by shedding what is no longer necessary?

Preparing the Soil

The leaves fall to the ground and seal in moisture. They create a bedding that will decompose and feed the tree during the next growth cycle

They will break down and become the nutrients that nurture the next cycle come spring.

Death composted into life.

So simple—so profound—so beautiful.

As you release and let go, the pains from the loss will compost into the fuel for the new.

This is the energy needed for psychospiritual transformation.

Ask yourself the following questions:

1. How can the things you’re letting go of in your life serve as nourishment for your future growth?

2. What lessons or experiences from your past, like fallen leaves, can decompose and become the soil for new opportunities?

3. How can you transform what feels like an ending into something that supports new beginnings?

I love that you are interested in exploring yourself in the pursuit of growth and expansion. 

And I love that you are diving deeper into the unconscious patterns that limit our capacity as a species to transcend this paradigm. 

You are becoming the change you want to see in the world and that is incredibly inspiring!
