For a gardener, their is no better time than late summer. Spring weeds have stopped their assault, the vines have slowed their wandering, and everything is in the process of ripening, producing as much juicy fruit and vegetable as possible. Sunshine, rain, wind and rich earth are transformed into red ripe tomatoes, fiery hot chilis, architecturally impressive squash, and jade green beans.
This mind blowing alchemy is also going on in our own lives. Our life grows with the seeds we dreamt of in Winter then planted in Spring. Do you remember what your intentions were back then? How are your dreams growing? Maybe you are harvesting the fruits of your labor today on this Labor Day. If not, I have good news. There is still time to do a corrective pruning, or replant into a sunnier place or richer soil. Recommitting yourself to your yoga practice maybe just the experience you need to get your mind clear, your heart open and grow deeper roots that will nourish you through winter. Namaste!
