autumn equinox exchange...reminder~

The Ceremonial Circle

If we could strip away the ideologies that seperate us,

stop the greedy destruction and meet by the riverside,
we would discover we are all children of the same earth
and that our lives are patterned by the ceremonial flow
of the sun, moon, seasons and tides.
We are all one in spirit and in the body.
Sedonia Cabhill & Joshua Halpern

~Autumn Equinox Exchange~

we all celebrate in our own way
no matter
if it is
The Autumn Equinox, Mabon,
The First Day of Fall or Autumn
i would L♥VE to have you join along

the wheel is turning

a new season upon us

preparing for colder

darker days to come

a time when day and night are equal

a time to harvest for a second

to gather the fruits of our labor

and dead head whats no longer needed

a time to reflect upon our lives

what was balanced and what fell out of sorts

a time we celebrate thanksgiving

a moment to remember loved ones here and gone

a time to give thanks for all the goodness in our lives

a time to give gratitude to all who surround us

so what better way to celebrate

exchange our gratitude 
for 
one another

simple.mindful.gifts

representing the season upon us

foods.bake goods.jellies.jams.herbs.dried fruits
