Autumn Pumpkin 2022 by Fibelkorn

As with most things this time of year, my thoughts are always about pumpkins (or Jack O's when it's closer to Halloween).

If you garden, then you know that you cannot rush Nature; things happen when they feel like it and there's no getting around that. So once Autumn hits, I tend to slow down. I enjoy my thoughts (and thinking in general) more; I start to remember why I enjoyed 'the process' of doing something rather than just rushing along.

I am sad when I think about the last two years. I really find that I have been lied to a great deal in life. That there are narratives and agendas that myself and others are 'fit into' so others may go on happily with their lives at our cost. Yeah, I'm a little vague because if you know; then you know. And if you think everything is fine, then there is no changing your mind unless you are actually open minded.

So here I sit; quietly; giving myself time to go full circle with my thoughts. 

It's okay. 

I'm okay.

As a society and species, we are very much not okay.

And so I will learn to live with things as they are and try not to struggle so once time picks it's pace up in the coming year.
