To sigh in autumn....

I find myself sighing a lot lately though I am not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. I've heard somewhere, that it's an unpropitious sign to 'sigh', that only people with conundrums have a tendancy to do that...
Don't even ask me where I heard this mumbo jumbo from.

I think sighing is a good thing. It just helps express what's really in you...The obscure psychology of us.

Though I think, in my case, its because it's just autumn. Autumn brings a calming feeling into me. I feel this is the time where you let everything that you withstood and held all year long, all out. An expressive way of letting go and expecting a new and fresh start.

My way of doing that is through sighing...apparently.

Today while I was reading "The I Ching" I came across this passage:

"While there is no state of peace that is not liable to be disturbed, and no departure of evil men that will not be followed by their return, yet when one is firm and correct, and accepts that disorder may occur, one will commit no error. There is no occasion for sadness at the certainity of such recurring changes; and in this mood the happiness of the present may be long enjoyed."

It's funny that I read that as soon as "my moment of change" was dawning upon me. Accepting bad fortune so naturally isn't a walk in the park, but if you believe that something good will jump out at you unbeknownstly then you could at least savour that significant and malleable moment and muster whatever inner strength you have to take you onwards to success.

Thus the moral of today's journal is:

Autumn is a great way to enjoy tranquility. And sighing is a bliss (to everyone except those mumbo jumbo people...)

So there you go.

As for now, I'll go dance and sigh with the falling leaves.
No need to feel self-conscious. Sheesh.

No one will know it's me anyways...I think...
