Rooted in rhythms

Instead, I like to think of these late-summer weeks as a gentle late-summer transition—a time when nature begins to change while still offering us plenty of warmth, abundance and light.

If February opened the heart inwardly, March asks the heart to move outward — toward inspiration. Inspiration is not pressure to produce. It is life-force returning. It is the sense that something wants to begin, to be created. This month is about rooted vitality. Strength in the legs. Clarity in the mind. Warmth in the chest. A steady, grounded readiness for what is next. We do not rush into bloom. But we no longer sleep.
