Farewell to Autumn

November 9, 2016 lizaaitken

Yesterday I took a walk locally to try and catch what I could of the remaining flowers in my local park. I don’t have a garden, although I do have two window boxes and pots on the front steps. The window boxes I plant twice a year, summer flowers for my mum and a winter selection for my step father, he was Scottish so there has to be heather. Both of them loved their flowers, nature and wildlife so it’s fitting I plant for them. I’m on the first floor so I’m hopeful the frost won’t hit too early.

I love nature, you might have got an inkling of this from my blog, but this is new for me, well newish anyway. There was a time I hated looking at photos without someone in them, I couldn’t see the point, now I’m totally different, I try to reduce the traffic and that includes people. I thought I would share some of the photos I have taken lately on my phone as a tribute to Autumn. I’m going to have to hold some back of course for my daily posts 😉

That which is true will sit well in our hearts. Our duty is to find our own truth, be our own teachers and reach our own conclusions. The heart will always open to what it believes to be true.

However firmly we feel our roots are planted, however much we believe we are in the right place and doing the right thing the universe might have different plans for us. There maybe a future waiting for us somewhere outside of our understanding or imagination. Do not attach yourself blindly through fear of the unknown, allow the universe to guide you gently to your destination.

Relish – DP

November 6, 2016 lizaaitken

Find time in the day to be at one with yourself, find space and silence to sit and do nothing. To do nothing but clear your mind. Relish in the stillness you find there, breathe it in and become part of it. Be at one with nature, as the flower is in a garden swaying in the breeze of life.

Nature Lesson 73

November 6, 2016 lizaaitken

We are all at different stages of growth, age is certainly a consideration, but so are our experiences as we travel through life. Some of us will face many challenges, that will, if we learn the lessons from them, enhance our growth and development. Others, who may appear to have an easy life, might be much farther behind because they have not shared those same experiences. We cannot judge others by what they know or don’t know because we all receive individual lessons connected to our own journey, each of our spirits grows at the pace as it should.

Sometimes our feelings are buried so deep we don’t recognise them when they spring up. Extreme pain and sadness can come to the surface as anger, we don’t recognise the emotion. Sometimes the pain is too much to bare and it is easier to mask it, pretend it’s something else. Our feelings don’t disappear, they kept rising until we acknowledge them for what they are, only then will they pass.

Does the flower know where it is heading when it reaches up to the sky, does it know its purpose and destination. If nature can tell us anything I think it might be reach for your dreams, be open to experience and give your very best.

When searching for perfection we need to look at nature, the natural state of nature can teach us so much. We cannot create something perfect, perfection is something that is pure and comes naturally.

Give out the goodness and love you have stored inside of you, for what you give out is always replenished. You are an open channel and when you treat others with love and kindness, it creates more positivity in the world, which is of course your world.
