HARVEST TIME

And now it is harvest time.

The Sun’s light is golden like the fields

after the grain is gathered in.

Standing here, as the leaves on the hazel change

from green, to yellow to brown, we ask,

“What are we harvesting?”

May whatever you harvest help you

In the Autumn days ahead,

The Days of Balance

Greeter of the Dawn! Invite me
to share another day with you!
No, not like yesterday – there is no going back.
Help me to step into today.
Let it be fresh in my mouth
like the newly fallen snow
radiant on the hillside,
as the Sun, climbing over
the horizon, breaks through.

Some days it’s like this:

the fog comes in and nothing

looks the same. Everything

that was known changes.

You think you are lost.

But wait! Don’t turn away.

Right before your eyes

transformation continues,

shifting your perception,

and the world is illuminated.

No, the lighting is not quite

the same, but now you see

with restored sight, lucidly,

walking into a new vision.
