Something in the air tells us a new
season is at our door.
It
sounds like:
"Knock Knock" Who's there? Orange
"Knock Knock" Who's there?
Orange
"Knock Knock" Who's there?
Orange and Gold. Red and her friend Yellow
Go ahead and open the door wide. Fling
it wide and step outside.
Step
outside your busyness, take slow deep breaths and allow yourself to see
with the
eyes of your soul.
Autumn is
the season of letting go. Some see the dying. Try to see the
dormition.
The leaves
are not afraid. We needn't be either. Allow the
Spirit to come.
Trust that in the end all shall be well
Let's conclude
with part of the Autumn Equinox Fire Prayer in Fr. Hay's Planetary Pilgrim:
Autumn fire, orange and yellow sacrament of the sun,
light up the darkness with your dancing.
Your power is seeded in the ripeness
of the fruit and grain of this harvest season.
Great is God, whose heart is the shrine
wherein lives the whole universe;
great is your heart, my Beloved,
greater still is your unceasing love for
me.
May my love for You enflame my every word of thanksgiving
to reflect the golden beauty of autumn
that the earth dons once again.
Amen.
