It was the image out the windshield that framed my state of mind. A car-lined street. And trees up and down both sides. The first time in many months I looked out and saw trees that looked like winter. They all looked like winter. A clear November sky, and it was the trees that made the statement.
Time marches forward. We’re practically at the beginning of December, yet I still feel I’m wandering, lost in time somehow. How long has it been with this feeling? Months for sure. Like I need to wake up one morning soon and feel grounded. Is this an end-of-summer thing? It’s been going on since then. I don’t think it’s that, but it’s a longing for the cold. I find myself looking forward, in hope, to colder days. I long to be reassured, comforted, free of fear and worries. Don’t we all? And I expect winter to deliver that comfort and freedom? Maybe I should read my book, and hope for the best.

A stark, beautiful time of year. The perfect season to turn to books for comfort.

I had that strange feeling in October, when summer just wouldn’t leave!

I understand. It seems to leave us out of sorts seasonally. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.

If you want to fix it, you might try some intentional grounding meditations/rituals. I do a little of that every morning.

Thanks. I’ve done that in the past, but not recently. Maybe I should get back to them. They do help.

I love bare trees this time of year, their stark contrast against the sky. I hope you feel centered very soon. In the meanwhile, enjoy that book.

Have a fabulous day and rest of the week. ♥

I love all the seasons and the transitions in between. Your post depicts this transition quite beautifully in words and your photo. I suspect the winter months will be good to you, hibernating a bit, reading your book, and allowing another tree ring grow your inspiration.
