Haiku: Trust In The Fall

So it’s time to fall, and there’s no other way to do it than to trust.
Fall into autumn.

time to swim inward
to learn how to flow outward 
trusting in the fall

Prayer for Love
Thank You, Creator of the Universe for the gift of Life you have given me,
Thank You for giving me everything that I have ever needed,
Thank You for the opportunity to experience this beautiful body and this
wonderful mind,
Thank You for living inside me with all Your Love and Your pure and boundless
Spirit, with Your warm and radiating Light.
Thank You for using my words, for using my eyes, for using my heart to share
your love wherever I go.
I love You just the way you are and because I am your creation, I love myself
just the way I am.
Help me to keep the Love and the Peace in my Heart and to make that Love
a new way of life, that I may live in Love the rest of my life.
Amen.”

― Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements

    The last line is brilliant, trusting in the fall can mean so many things.

    “time to swim inward” that line touches on why I dislike the winter so much and even autumn is its messenger – lovely haiku

    1. Selma Martin

        I know its silly really to have any dislikes for the seasons – we should take what is!

        1. Selma Martin
