A lovely misty morning here in Kildare, and the leaves are clearly starting to fall. Autumn is the “season of mists and mellow fruitfulness” as Keats said in his beautiful description.  The seeds fall underground and move into a period of silent growth. We can learn from them how to trust and wait, in times which are dark or when nothing seems to be happening.
I gratefully acknowledge how darkness has become less of an enemy for me and more of a place of silent nurturance, where the slow, steady gestation needed for my soul’s growth can occur. Not only is light a welcomed part of my life, but I am also developing a greater understanding of how much I need to befriend my inner darkness.
