I drove up through France from the 7th to the 10th of August.
I was Hot, sticky and very close...
A few yellow leaves blew across the parched roads and campsites, as I went.
Today in London, the sky is suddenly grey, after the best Summer since 1976..
The Chinese Calendar tells me Autumn officially began on the night of the 9th...
I really see /feel it now.
That's not to say that Summer will not have a few late victories in the coming weeks, it surely will, but Autum will eventually become the overall winner..
It's a time of gathering in, drawing back, finalising and settling in for the winter.
The colour is White, interestingly the colour of mourning in Chinese culture..
Maybe mourning the coming death of the year..?
It's all about the Lungs (... why so many of us get coughs and colds in this period)
Lungs are also about sadness, sorrow, and grief(for the passing joy of summer?)
Time to work on the lungs to ameliorate the worst of these emotions...
Want to explore that deeper...
I'm happy to help - always..
