Inspire your senses : autumn contrasts

autumn contrasts

 

My senses are simply inspired by:

sight : the entire range of autumn leaf colours never ceases to amaze me. And I simply can’t stop taking photos of them. Autumn has arrived quickly, bringing changing weather, shorter daylight hours and all those joyful reflections with it.

sound : loving this catchy tune by Train, thanks to my soulbrother T. for sharing it forward. Go on, take a quick listen and I’m sure you will be humming along too. I bet you also remember their song, Drops of Jupiter …but tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?

taste :  pumpkins, pumpkins and more pumpkins everywhere. I had to try the infamous Starbucks pumpkin spice latte with my soulsisters C. and A. after yoga. It was definitely different, but it isn’t really my cup of tea 😉 so I will be sticking to my chai latte for now.

smell : my walks are full of the scents of recently harvested mielie (corn) fields, newly turned soil and occasionally the smell of fresh manure that is added before the next rain.

touch : time to get out the warmer gear now. I love cuddling up with my pashmina, hiking in my merino top from Icebreaker (I’m hooked as it truly doesn’t smell!) or wearing my cashmere ‘love peace’ jumper, a divine gift from my soulsister C. Soft and cosy on my skin!

energy : these timely thoughts on patient compassion and compassionate patience from Sarah resonate so strongly as we step into October.

last words : watching the leaves falling as I walk is a meditation in itself.

Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.  Emily Brontë
