Autumn’s Palette: Painting Moments of Peace and Presence.

"No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell." - Carl Jung

Autumn arrives as a vivid reminder of this profound truth. Just as trees prepare for the coming season by grounding themselves deeply, we too are invited to reflect on our own roots-the emotions and experiences that shape us. The trees around us become a breathtaking explosion of colours, their leaves shifting from lush greens to fiery reds, oranges, and golds. It is a season that stirs feelings within us, encouraging us to pause and connect with the world around us.

In the rush of everyday life, we often forget to take a moment just to be. Autumn gently urges us to slow down, to feel the crisp air, and to watch the sunlight filter through the canopy above. It is a perfect time to think, to reflect, and to live deliberately. Allow yourself the gift of thirty minutes in nature-find a quiet spot, observe the leaves as they dance to the ground, feel the subtle warmth of the sun, and breathe in the peacefulness that surrounds you.

This brief respite can awaken a deeper appreciation for the cycle of life and the beauty in change. Autumn teaches us that just as trees release their leaves to prepare for new growth, we too must let go of what no longer serves us to grow stronger and reach higher. So, take this season as an invitation to live fully, enjoy the moment, and nurture the roots that sustain your journey.
