(yes, I am listening and learning from you) <b>Sara</b> thank so much for the feedback. I can see from your blog that you enjoy the interaction of images and words and how we learn through images... it's something I'm trying to incorporate into how I learn (and teach) too. I hope you enjoy spending some quiet time with these questions Karen thank you :-) I was learning from trees just as you were learning from fruit :-) I’ve been so struck this season by how gently and peacefully nature allows things to fall – what a contrast with how we fret and resist them!

The coaching questions are great and I plan on spending some time thinking through them and writing down my answers. The last one has really been on my mind of late and your tie-in to fall frames it in a new way.

I’m really a fan of nature’s beauty and complexity. As fall depicts lots of meaning which could be related to life, I’m reminded that every ending comes with a new and refreshed beginning. It is like a great chance to start again, writing your first letter in a blank slate once more. Yet, this time, more experienced and careful enough to avoid any mistakes which are bound to be erased. Although fall for me means a gradual ending, this comes with enough time to reminisce the past season and realize the life spent over some period of time. .-= Alex Lim´s last blog ..Working Hard Building An Email List… Now What? =-.
