Sharing a beautiful masterpiece written by my dear friend and mentor who changed the way I see the world and live my life. With deep and lasting gratitude for her presence in my life.

The Honoring of the Fall Equinox
It is the time
it is the time of the honoring
of the Fall Equinox..
It is The Time,
that Nature has set aside
to acknowledge the past,
and to acknowledge
the emerging new..
and to plan for,
and to begin to plant for
The Coming New Year..
It is The Time during which,
Nature’s Wisdom reflects upon,
and considers..
the results of Her last year’s actions..
and She observes,
and She inquires..
as to the fruits
of Her last year’s intentions,
and Her last year’s planing,
and Her last year’s actions..
Did Her intentions,
and Her plans,
and Her actions..
birth and grow the harvest
that She had planned for,
and that She had hoped for,
and that She had anticipated..
And, as She considers the results
of last years actions..
Nature also considers
Her current intentions,
and Her current plans..
for this coming year..
And She looks to see if..
the Earth received what She had done easily..
and, if the Earth received Her actions
in the way that She had hoped
that Earth would... 🤔
And, She looked to see..
if new intentions,
or, if modifications in Her past intentions
or, in Her past actions
needed to be made.. 🤔
to allow Her current intentions,
and Her current actions
to better match what is currently needed..
so that Her actions
can be sweetly,
and easily absorbed..
~~~~~~~
I consider myself, and all of humanity
to be a part of Nature..
And so,
during this time of The Fall Equinox,
I OBSERVE, and I ASK..
myself,
my ‘significant others’,
and all those
who are woven within my life
a series of questions..
so that I can plan
for my next year’s series of..
observations,
learnings,
intentions,
reflections,
plannings,
and actions.. 🤗
I think of each friend, one at a time,
and I ask myself..
What did I offer them in friendship
during the year that had just past.. 🤔
Were my gifts and intentions appropriate.. 🤔
or.. did they somehow miss
what my friend truly wanted,
or needed.. 🤔
Were my intentions appropriate.. 🤔
but..
did my actions somehow fall short
of accomplishing
my ‘right on’ intentions.. 🤔
And..
Did my intentions and actions
accomplish my desires,
and gracefully fulfill
my special one’s wants and needs..
in a timely fashion.. 🤔
And, I ask myself..
What might be changed,
or subtly modified.. 🤔
And, I ask myself..
What did my loved ones,
and friends,
and acquaintances
share with me.. 🤔
How can I let them know
that I appreciated what they have done,
and how they did it.. 🤔
How can I better let them know
what I need.. 🤔
and how I can best receive
what they want to offer..
Can I do these things
in words.. 🤔
in writing.. 🤔
by example.. 🤔
Energetically.. 🤔
What do I want to plant
in the New Year.. 🤔
What will I plant
for The New Year..
🤔🤗🥰💫
