The Autumn of Your Life

“You can’t hide your true colors as you approach the autumn of your life”.
(Unknown)

The time has come again
To shed all the barriers
All the unnecessary filters
That are diminishing the Light
Whatever you picked up along the way
No need for inventory
Time to look ahead and
Move forward
It’s the autumn of your Life
Love yourself
Shedding
Shedding
Letting Go

“We cling to our point of view, as though everything depended on it.  Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn, they gradually pass away.”
(Chuang Tzu)

“Nothing is more fleeting than external form, which withers and alters like the flowers of the field at the appearance of autumn”.
(Umberto Eco)

Resentments

“Resentments, carried too far, expose us to a fate analogous to that of the fish-hawk, when he strikes his talons too deep into a fish beyond his capacity to lift, and is carried under and drowned by it.” Christian Nestell Bovee, Intuitions and Summaries of Thought

And as we all know….

“Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die.” – Carrie Fisher, attributed, Encyclopedia Neurotica

Love who you are, and learn to let go.

Empty Hands

And the decluttering mindset strikes again…

“You can’t reach for anything new if your hands are still full of yesterday’s junk.” – Louise Smith

Sometimes all you really need is… empty hands. Empty mind. Space! 

Think about it… 

“Thirty spokes unite around one hub to make a wheel.

 It is the presence of the empty space that gives the function of a vehicle. 

Clay is molded into a vessel. 

It is the empty space that gives the function of a vessel. 

Doors and windows are chisel out to make a room. 

It is the empty space in the room that gives its function. 

Therefore, something substantial can be beneficial. 

While the emptiness of void is what can be utilized.”

Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, Chapter 11
