Hello dear friends,
October is here. The air feels cooler. The leaves are turning gold and red, and they are starting to fall.
Where I live, I see many dragonflies. They dance over the water and rest on warm stones in the sun. Even now, in the fall, one will sometimes stop near me, as if to say hello.
To me, a dragonfly is a gentle sign of change. It starts its life in the water. Then one day it climbs out, opens its wings, and learns to fly. It does not rush. It simply changes when the time is right.
Autumn teaches us the same thing. The trees do not hold on to their leaves forever. They let them go, one by one, softly. There is no fight in it. Only trust that spring will come again.
Many people also feel that a dragonfly is a sign of remembrance. When one visits, you may think of a loved one who has passed. That is a sweet moment. You can smile, say their name, and feel the love that is still there. Love does not leave us.
I like to remember that the angels are close by, too. They are with us in the quiet moments. They are with us when we let go, and when we remember.
A Simple Noticing Practice
Here is a small practice you can try this week. It only takes a few minutes.
- Go outside, or sit by a window.
- Take three slow breaths. In through your nose, out through your mouth.
- Look around gently. Notice one thing that is changing. Maybe a leaf, the light, or the sky.
- If a dragonfly, a bird, or a falling leaf comes by, just watch it. You don’t have to do anything.
- Ask yourself softly: “What am I ready to let go of, like a leaf?”
- If someone you love comes to mind, say “Thank you” in your heart.
- Imagine your angels standing beside you, warm and kind.
That’s all. There is no right or wrong way to do this. Just notice, breathe, and be gentle with yourself.
If you see a dragonfly this month, I would love to hear about it. Where were you? Who came to mind? Small moments like these can be beautiful gifts.
Thank you for being here with me this autumn.
Sending Love and Energy,
Elizabeth
