It happens every year in mid-August. I suddenly feel the need to rest. So, with that in mind, there is no usual Hedge Mystic post today. There’s just me, breathing deeply, relaxing my shoulders, and giving myself permission to rest.
I spent the day yesterday sitting on the garden bench in the shade of the umbrella, watching the stunning amount of life flitting, flying, hopping, scurrying, buzzing, and gliding among the flowers. I just sat. I wasn’t on my phone. I wasn’t talking. I wasn’t thinking. I was just being.
I encourage you to gift yourself rest.
I gift myself times like these because I know that autumn is around the corner and that’s a season that energizes me, and I‘m likely to be hit with a wave of creative energy, and I want to be rested and ready to receive that when it arrives.
I’ve already been feeling the stirrings of new creative directions. Last weekend, I had fun exploring with my camera in gritty black and white.

I love all your posts, but this one completely spoke to me in the moment as I fully realize the necessity of stillness and rest more and more and continue to gift that to myself as well. Thank you for just being you.
Thank you 🙏🏼 I too seek rest at this time of year
