If we had done our work even during the summer, then whether we see results right now or not, the energy required is moving in the direction towards its fruition.  Throughout the world, there are stories passed down over time that emphasize the virtue of patience, perseverance, and vision.   

We also see this in nature, in the example of the Chinese bamboo tree.  According to a number of sources, this plant takes several years to grow.  It will remain under the surface of the soil almost the entire time, while requiring constant watering and attention.  In the final year, when it breaks above ground, it can grow a staggering 90 feet in just a few weeks!

So too, we all do not grow the same way and in the same timing.  This means that we all have our "Autumn" at different times, for different areas in our lives.  While it is Autumn for the planet, right now could be "Spring" for some of us; exciting ideas sprouting in our minds, ready to be implemented through right planning and action.  We all have our own path to take that is unique to us.  

It truly is all relative.  

In a future blog, perhaps the next one, I plan to write about how scientifically age is simply just a number.  'Til then...

Thank you and good night.

P.S. Autumn is my favourite season!
