Lion and Magic Boy

I feel the change in the air; do you?

It’s more than the prospect of school beginning again tomorrow and all the changes that will ensue from moving from the Waldorf school to public schools.

It’s more than the fact that for the past several days, both Nathaniel and Serena have disappeared for hours at a time, running wild in our little neighborhood with a pack of kids, which is a huge change for them considering it wasn’t long ago that I wrote that they had no friends at all.

It’s more than the ever-lowering sun, marching down the horizon a little more each day until meeting itself again on the solstice again in December, to begin a new cycle once more.

It’s more than a suggestion of the crispness in the air that will arrive by month’s end.

It’s more than a reddening and a yellowing of leaves here and there amid the green, the fields of corn turning brown and standing, rustling a little in the late-afternoon breeze amid lengthening shadows, on almost-early-autumn stalks.

Those outward signs of transformation are matched by the inward ones, the ones that arrive with a new certainty and a new knowingness, that arrive too with latent fears here and there that well up at unexpected times, swelling with importance until they burst almost of their own accord and dissipate into the nothingness from whence they came.

Do you feel them, the changes at hand? Do you feel your constant creation, coming ever closer to fruition as the who-you-are emerges, shining, light-filled, and whole?

September’s Monthly Message over at LightSpring Transformations is all about transformation; change is in the air!
