First I have to love the fear and the hurt and the anger. Then I can truly, truly love all of us.

MESSAGE

I wholeheartedly endorse the powerful appeal for peace made by the Holy Father, Pope Leo, during his Palm Sunday Mass. His call for the laying down of arms and the renunciation of violence resonated profoundly with me, as it speaks to the very essence of what all major religions teach.

Indeed, whether we look to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism or any of the world's great spiritual traditions, the message is fundamentally the same: love, compassion, tolerance, and self-discipline. Violence finds no true home in any of these teachings. History has shown us time and again that violence only begets more violence and is never a lasting foundation for peace.

An enduring resolution to conflict, including the ones we see in the Middle East or between Russia and Ukraine, must be rooted in dialogue, diplomacy and mutual respect — approached with the understanding that, at the deepest level, we are all brothers and sisters.

I urge for and pray that the violence and conflicts may soon come to an end.

Let's have a check in with our metaphorical armour. Remember in the Five Element map Fire 'controls' Metal, the Element of Autumn.
Taking heavy metal aspects (guilt, grief, regret, harsh judgements) and forging them in the fire of passion, enthusiasm and excitement for life can mean that our 'life armour' is easier to bear, more flexible, less `stuffy', upgraded even.
We often use our judgements as an armour. The 'I cant believe they have done xyz' or the 'I would never, ever do xyz'
And in the Fire of a rich life well lived, judgements often are challenged in the heat of reality,. My youngest son (and his NNT ways) teaches me so much about my judgements about things, getting me more flexible, less dogmatic.
Let's utilise the Five Element map theory that fire (passion, enthusiasm, love, heart) controls metal (values, morals, judgements, hard structures).
What needs forging, adapting, making more flexible?
Wishing you a beautiful Autumn day, Sarah-Jayne 🔥 ✨🛡 ✨🔥

Today lets have just a little word on shedding, on 'Letting go'.
We write about this important aspect of the Autumn a lot, with the trees doing a great job of showing us how to do it.
However not all trees let go all at once, evergreens let go a little at a time, over the whole year.
Some trees go for a big dramatic colourful shorter sharper letting go, others are slow and steady, a little at a time.
This diversity of approach is important to recognise.
A huge clear out once a year may not be right for everyone, a little at a time may be better.

Let's notice how we process, how we let go. All at once or slow and steady,?
Is the approach different in certain situations? It all adds to the diversity that makes up the rich tapestry of being a human.
