The trees and cool nights are tangible signs that Fall is riding on the wind and Summer time is coming to an end. 

With tomatoes still green on the vine, trees changing color ~ "leaves" mixed emotions.  Fall is a splendid season.  I welcome rain.  However, I also want the tomatoes to have their day in the sun to ripen to their full potential.

Whenever I catch myself in worry it’s a good time to ask:  “What am I afraid of?”  I’m afraid the beautiful organic heirloom tomatoes won’t ripen in time.  We won’t be able to harvest ALL the tomatoes before Summer ends.

Of course whatever is occurring in our world gives us a chance to look deeper based upon what is represented by our outward situation.  As above so below, as within so without and so on.

What are you seeing in your world right now?  As the seasons begin to change what are you feeling?

For me, the questions are:  what fruit on my vine that has not yet seen enough sun to ripen?  How can I nourish these undeveloped fruit to allow them the time and light to become ripe?  How can I shift my perspective to a more abundant mentality?  What fruit is already ripe that I’m not appreciating in my life?

Worry is a symptom of a lack of trust.  At times, thinking and analyzing allows us to recognize things we could do to improve our situation for ourselves, family and community.  Once those ideas are tended to the bottom line always comes back to trust.

Is the glass half empty or half full?  How do you see your current situation?  Einstein asked the question: “Do you see the universe as friend or foe?” How we see things currently affects how we will see things in the future.  Our perspective shapes our experience.  Our past experience shapes our perspective.  Here in lies the riddle and cycle.  If it’s a never ending circle how can we make a change?

As Michael Jackson’s song says, “I’m starting with the man in the mirror.  I’m asking him to change his ways. No message could have been any clearer.  If you want to make the world a better place take a look at yourself and make a change!” 

It starts with change!  If we want to have new experiences and new perspectives we have to make a change in one of these areas.  How can you see things differently in order to have a new experience?  What can you do to have a new experience in order to see things differently?  I look forward to hearing from you please share a comment on how you see the seasons of change in your life.  Here is a yummy raw recipe for your enjoying!  Click here for Lou's Terrific Tomato Soup 

Everything in due time

Will flourish on the vine 

Focus on fruit that’s ripe!

Blessings flow

Mindfulness knows

Abundance abounds

Sound that resounds

Deep in my bones.

Seasons that loom 

Echos the tune

Weave winds that blow

Whistle frequencies of soul

Unite the inner light

Blankets and covers

My heart in truth

Trust without proof...Faith

Opens the gate

To Change.     by Lou Ann Bennett
