August

August has always signified a time of new beginnings which can, at once, be joyous and sorrowful.  After all, a new beginning generally implies there is also an ending. August is a gift. It is a period in which we are allowed to reflect on that which we have finished and that which we have yet to begin.  Yes, be scared!  Yes, be excited!  Yes, be cautious!  Yes, be courageous!  Bid a long, sweet, and very deserving farewell to the hot summer that will soon be behind us and look ahead -- beyond the horizon -- to the many exciting adventures that await.  We are given thirty-one days to sit in the center of transition, to truly absorb the changes caused by the thermal energy of summer, to appreciate the gentle balance of all that was and all that will be.  

Namaste :)
