How I Learned to Kindle Summer in the Coldest Moments

There is something beautiful about autumn. The way the leaves release themselves without fear,
the way the trees stand in quiet surrender, the way the world softens into gold and brown before dissolving into rest. I find beauty there, in the humility of change, in the surrender of the season, in the honesty of endings. Autumn reminds me that life, too, has seasons. Some seasons feel like sunlight on skin: easy, bright, instinctive. Others feel like rain that won’t let up, or like winter winds that strip you down until you meet the raw truth of who you are.

But the seasons always turn. They always have, and they always will. And somewhere along my journey, I learned that I don’t have to wait for the weather to change before I change on the inside. Through building a deeper relationship with myself, one made of listening, softness, and courage. I discovered that I carry my own inner climate. And no matter the external season, I can choose the one I want to live in.

I choose summer. Not because life is always warm, but because I have learned to create warmth within myself. Summer, for me, is joy that rises without permission, abundance that flows from gratitude, vibrancy that pulses in the body, and a laughter that begins somewhere near the soul. It is the season where we connect to others the most, it is the season I feel naturally most connected: to others, to nature, to my truest nature. Life will still bring winter. Life will still bring rain. But now I know that even in the coldest moments, I can kindle a summer inside my chest, a quiet fire that never goes out.

Summer for me is my true nature  

So I ask you:
What season are you in?
And what season can you choose to live in, again and again, no matter the weather around you.
