Live In Each Season

~ Majella ~ 4 Comments

There are seasons in your life in the same way as there are seasons in nature. There are times to cultivate and create, when you nurture your world and give birth to new ideas and ventures. There are times of flourishing and abundance, when life feels in full bloom, energized and expanding. And there are times of fruition, when things come to an end. They have reached their climax and must be harvested before they begin to fade. And finally, of course, there are times that are cold and cutting and empty, times when the spring of new beginnings seems like a distant dream. Those rhythms in life are natural events. They weave into one another as day follows night, bringing, not messages of hope and fear, but messages of how things are.

Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.

A Beautiful Perspective on Autumn

~ Majella ~ 2 Comments

This morning I read a post by Georgi Kisyov on the rhythm and wisdom of Autumn. His words painted the season in a way that made me pause and think of things differently — the pace, the colours, the quiet lessons nature offers.

While I’ve always loved aspects of Autumn, I also dread the coming of Winter. Reading this post gave me a fresh perspective, a reminder of beauty in change and the value of slowing down.

I encourage you to read Georgi’s post here: https://georgikisyov.com/2025/09/22/the-season-of-the-wisdom/— it’s a wonderful piece of writing that truly moved me.

Nature & Us

I believe in God, only I spell it nature.
~ Frank Lloyd Wright, from Truth Against the World

The Earth is what we all have in common.
~ Wendell Berry

The oxygen in our lives was recently inside a leaf.
~ Barbara Kingsolver, from Small Wonder

Do unto those downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you.
~ Wendell Berry

We share the earth, the air, the mountains and streams. To care for the Earth is to care for one another. The earth is not separate from us

The Garden Waits …

~ Majella ~ 5 Comments

When the world wearies, and society ceases to satisfy, there is always the garden.
~ Minnie Aumonier

There is always music amongst the trees in the garden, but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it.
~ Minnie Aumonier

There’s something grounding about getting my hands dirty in soil. In a world that often moves too fast, and demands too much, my garden waits unmoved by expectation or pretence. It’s where time slows, senses awaken; gentle breeze on skin, birds chattering, wafting scents. Nature; soothing body, mind, and mood.

Welcoming Spring …

Spring has arrived in Australia, my favourite season …

It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

What a strange thing
to be alive
beneath cherry blossoms.
