Autumn Harvest, Decay and other Random Thoughts


The time of Harvest has come...
our garden
which has not had it's best run
it brimming with the fruits of it's labours


Strange time, Autumn
a time of coming to full life
and yet also
a time of life ending into decay...


no other season offers the two sides
the balance of life and death
as Autumn does...


This is my favourite time of year
the colours
the smells
the cold nibble in the air
it is my season


This weekend I am heading for Retreat...
"Prayers and Stillness"
I am looking forward to this
I am in need of this 


I am going with my 
it has been a year since our first
"accidental" retreat...
a retreat that birthed this blog...


I am looking forward 
to seeing what this gathering brings forth
I am facilitator this year
but have left much up to Spirit
to guide, mould and shape this retreat


things have already started inside
much like this season
there has been fruit and decay
already beginning within me


I can't be sure of what is to come
I can't be sure of what God has in store for me
but 
I can be sure we will be spoken to
I can be sure we will be opened
I can be sure, that once again
the soil will be churned
fruit will appear
what is old will decay
and seeds will be planted


I look forward to sharing with you the harvest
that I receive....
till then
be good to you
be kind to others
love like it is your last day to love
and remember sisters
you are free...

a song by my amazing Sister of the Wood...Cathy Hardy


What is your harvest and decay looking like 
my lovelies?
and for you in the Southern Hemisphere
what is your re-brith looking like?

see you all soon
Love and Light
