coulou's cafe trumpet meditations (no. 22)
Hello everyone :)
October is here and I am reminded in so many ways about why this is my favorite time of year.
The marathon of spring to summer is coming to a close and I can feel the city starting to slow down.
One thing I've found eye-opening is no matter how consistent I am with these weekly meditation projects, this creative act never feels consistent.
- I thought that as the weeks went on I would hone in a more reliable system to bring everyone these meditations,
- and although the filming, mixing, and editing maybe have become easier for me ,
- the twenty minutes I spend playing, and the time I take to write this little post have no reliable consistency to them.
That's the human part of this project, the hardest and most beautiful part of doing this each week.
I can try and develop all of the abilities and beliefs I want in this world and I'll still find myself standing at the same cliff every time I want to make something from nothing.
- There's always the risk, not knowing where you'll land, if you'll land. ,
- At best I get a little braver with each jump.
All this to say that the ebb and flow of these projects are so embedded into the person I am and some weeks I really do struggle with these while other weeks these meditations come so naturally.
This weekly pillar, twenty minute check-in is something I am so grateful for.
What a wonderful thing to be able to pause for a moment and just check in with how you're doing, good or bad, the power to change, to grow, to be happy starts with seeing yourself.
- Just remember as you look at the gorgeous trees changing colors and losing their leaves that you don't judge them for turning into sticks for the next few months. ,
- You believe in the trees and you know that they'll bloom with beautiful flowers in the spring.
The fleeting nature of fall is so tied to what makes it such a special time, enjoy it while its here and trust that it'll always come back again.
I just released an album and I think it pairs most beautifully with a walk in the park on a cool fall morning.
Sending lots of love to everyone :)
Love u all,
