“you can’t choose what stays and what fades away”

October 2011

Always my favorite month.

Deep breaths everybody.

.

In a month that often lives up to the hype, this month didn’t let down.

Deep breaths

.

A strange feeling of everything being new, and yet similar just following me through the month.

Deep Breaths.

.

Reassurance that where you are is where you’re supposed to be, even if that’s as surprising a thought you’ve had in a long time.

Deep Breaths.

This month has been about deep breaths and taking time for those breaths.  Deep breaths of the cold night air, the scent of the leaves changing and people lighting their chimneys.  There’s a time that I find myself at a awe, wonder and peace. It’s that point between when the intake of the breath ends and the exhale begins.  That split moment lends itself to great clarity, for me.

In that moment all of my sensory expressions are heightened and I experience everything how it is rather than how I want it to be.  That moment of clarity and peace is something I hope for, something I wish happened with every breath I took.  So I breathe deeply because there’s always time to take a breath.  There’s always time.

.

Because the year has been great so far, but there’s still a bit left to go.  I ask myself to breathe deeply to remember and refresh so I can end strong for 2011.   Life doesn’t always give us time to do everything, but the least it gives us, is a chance to breathe.

Deep breaths  everybody…
