It's Fall at Lulu's in Ojai:
And The Light Reveals the Depths

The rumor is that we use almost half our brain to process what we see. The yogis have long known that we do not see with our eyes, rather, with our minds.

As we open our minds and allow the Light to shine into our depths, we can see more clearly. And what we see is not always what we had in mind.

The Fall light shifts just enough to create the most magnificent shadows on the mountains. We can see the peaks and valleys more distinctly. Sometimes the valleys seem scary. Look more closely and soften. They are simply helping us hold the opposites.

And it is our capacity to hold the opposites that creates space for Love.
