Autumn Equinox by Sig Lonegren

So, in the cycle of decline, the Autumn Equinox is at harvest time, of those ideas that you first planted last Autumn at Samhain. It is a time of balance, a time of reaping, a time of equality. What is at that balance point in your life? May the fruits of your labors of this cycle serve you well as the light turns towards the dark half of the year, and the death and rebirth of a new cycle at Samhain. Blessed Be!

"When you gaze upon the falling Autumn leaves, you will see her. When you walk upon the damp, cooling earth you will feel her. When you peer through the swirling mists at sunrise, you will sense her presence, And when you close your eyes and sink deep into the darkness of your soul, You will know she is dancing to the beat of your own heart."

We have bid farewell to summer, but the sun's light has not yet faded. Such is the style of in between. . . . Night is falling on the year. The equinox grants us a moment of reverie, before we rush on to year's end at Samhain."
From the Celtic Connection

As autumn returns to earth's northern hemisphere, and day and night are briefly, but perfectly, balanced at the equinox, may we remember anew how fragile life is ---- human life, surely, but also the lives of all other creatures, trees and plants, waters and winds. May we make wise choices in how and what we harvest, may earth's weather turn kinder, may there be enough food for all creatures, may the diminishing light in our daytime skies be met by an increasing compassion and tolerance in our hearts.
