The Autumn air begins to bring in a gentle subtle change. Can you feel how the breeze is softer on your skin? Can you sense the trees waiting in a secret hush for the moment to release their leaves, to let go of the past and move into the quiet of winter?

Trees are very special people to me. They hold the sacred secrets of life and of how to live it. They move through their long lives with such majesty and grace. Have you ever sat with a tree and asked for it to share its wisdom? If not, I recommend that you do!!

The Fall Season brings in the energy of the ancestors, those who have gone before us. The ones who's blood is our blood, who we share our DNA with, the grandmothers and grandfathers. Our ancestors are important, and many of us have lost touch with them. They, like the trees, hold a very special wisdom about life. Many cultures still honor their ancestors with special days of remembrance and even festivals. The indigenous people speak of, and with, the ancestors every day in order to stay in touch with the cycles of living a good life, a wholesome life, and a happy life.

In October we celebrate Halloween, an aknowledgement of spirits and ghosts, of the "dead". It's a day we dress up and go forth to collect sweets and treats, and maybe do a few tricks!

This Halloween, lets also take a moment to remember our ancestors, no matter how good or bad or unknown they may be. They may be gone in one sense, but in another, life is eternal, they are always with you. We are all eternal. And in that eternality the one thing that is constant and continuous is Love. Love is the glue that binds us. Love is the energy that moves us forward. Love is the sweet necter that gives us our passion, our joy and our meaning. Let the Love of your ancestors be your guiding Light this October. Honor them by remembering them with a moment of silence and an aknowledgement that they are still with you. Inside. They carry on through you.
