"Change In Season". 11 x 14 mixed media on canvas.

It is a transitional period in many lives; a new chapter in the book of life, graduating from another life lesson and moving onto the next one. More often than not, these lessons can be difficult and they will repeat themselves until we learn what we're meant to.

Embrace the changes; flow with them instead of holding onto the things that hold you down. I know for certain, if one tries to hang on too long, the force of flow will become too great to fight anymore. Had the letting go taken place when pressure was first felt, we would all drift off in much better shape. Ignoring the pressure to move will only leave us beat down and utterly exhausted.

For me, it's been a fall kind of season. Giving away this piece of art today is rather symbolic to my life. It's time to let go of that season in my life. It is now winter in my world and it's a time for rest and rejuvenation, a time to rebuild my strength so I can be healthy and prepared as I transition toward my new beginnings.
