Autumn WelcomingIn its annual pilgrimage around our sun, the Earth starts to cool after the autumn equinox. In the northern hemisphere, the season of autumn begins around September 23rd. The tilt of the earth's axis is away from the sun, lowering the angel of the sun's rays. Autumn marks the time when leaves and fruit start to "fall" from northern trees and vines. While we rejoice in this harvest season of fullness and thanksgiving, our brothers and sisters in the southern hemisphere welcome the season of spring.Welcome, autumn, arms full of summer's blessings, carrying the seeds of lilfe for next year's planting. Come, enter my home with your golden wisdom; be my guest and share my table. Welcome, Old Wise One, may I be your student in the school of gratitude. Guide me in reflecting upon the summer now gone, that I might give thanks for all the many gifts that have enriched me in that season of growth. This reflection taken from "Prayers for a Planetary Pilgrim" by Edward Hays |
