Today we're supposed to "fall back." Which means we gain an hour by setting our clocks back one hour. It's one of those funny little, necessary things that we created so that we can literally make the most of our days here on earth.
Clocks changing, is just one of the symptoms that the seasons are changing. A symptom that the world is cycling through a ritual, billions of years old, of dying and rebirth. Being residents on this planet, connected to this planet, I can't help but think that each of us goes through this dying and rebirth at the same time. Resisting this change, this habitual inclination to let go of things and to allow those things in our lives to die, stunts our growth. Turns us into emotional midgets. (Sorry, "little people.")
As I set my clocks back this year, I'm reminded this cycle. I'm reminded of the things in my life that I let go, and the beautiful things that came into replace them. I'm reminded of those things in my life whose time has come, and that it's time to say goodbye. I'm reminded of the things in my life that I should have let go, and didn't. And I'm curious as to what would have come in to replace them - and I wonder if it's too late.
Bottom line, it's time to make the most of my days here on earth. Fall back, move forward. Turn, turn, turn.

I sort of figured out it was day light savings time in the middle of the day, and for some reason I set my clock forward. Think you are running late, then finding out you are 2 hours early is actually not as great as it sounds...
I love and miss you!!
