We are in between summer and winter. September is always gone away quickly; pulling out the summer as much as possible, busy with the school start. October is about Halloween and its preparations, attunement for autumn, delicious dishes. And then comes November that is usually an under evaluated month. November is the silent entrance hall of a new start. It is neither about spectacular starts, nor about big ambitions. It is rather a transition from the light to the darkness, from the external fizzling into the inner calm. While the nature steps aside, trees fall their leaves, we feel that it is high time to arrange, to let go, to resolve. Slowly, knowingly, honestly. So this month is about inner work and systematization requiring deceleration, introspection before we get on the Christmas express. We have to decide not only what to present to whom for Christmas but also think through what worked in our lives this year and want to keep for the next year and what we have to let go.
Honestly, I fret and distress myself a lot recently, waste much time on thinking of the unprocessed past and the distracting present.
