Autumn is my favorite time of year as well. For me, it’s a time of contemplation and reflection. I see my beginning of the year as the spring equinox (it’s the new year beginning of my annual journal), so for me autumn is that winding down of the year before entering into the cold and desolation of winter. Autumn also is when my creative juices tend to flow more freely. Perhaps it’s the slowing down, the intentional peeling away of distraction and chaos, the resting and entering into quiet spaces. I write more poetry in these months, and I feel like any other writing I lay down has more clarity and depth. I am certain my intentionality around reflectiveness contributes to this time of creative expression.
