Autumn colours as I walked yesterday
Walking out in Mother Nature is a gift I treasure, watching the changing seasons, absorbing each one with all her different merits, from Spring, through to Summer. Now Autumn is truly here, and its that time of harvest, of ‘gathering in.’
The heather shows us her colours~ What colours do we show the world I wonder.
As I walked, I thought about how I love harvest time.. I love reaping in our harvest. And we all reap that which we have sown.
Yesterday we harvested some of our first carrots.. A success story, as we often do battle with the carrot fly, and pests, as we do not use any kind of chemical pesticides, So the carrot fly has in the past rendered our carrots inedible. This year with forethought and planing, we set them late, in a separate bed, covered them with a fine-mesh and left them be… Yesterday we lifted our first bunch of the season, they were perfect once the soil was scrubbed from them.
Freshly picked yesterday
I wonder what forethought we put into our lives.. How well do we prepare our own Beds? And how often do we allow those pests, those negative thoughts to gnaw and eat us away?
Each of us are unique individuals. Each different, yet we all belong to the same family.
Nature provides, and Nature takes.. Working close to nature gets you to see this fine balance that is working all the time.. Some years things will thrive, others not so. You get to see close up those spiders and their webs, I avoided some very large spiders yesterday as I picked Dahlias, they had weaved them between and only a trained eye spots them. And I have been caught out a time or two and received a nasty bite, that I had destroyed their web. So I am mindful of them, and respectful as I can be, of the amount of effort that goes into weaving them..
We humans forget the power of Nature until she reminds us with the might of her storms, as she bites into the fabric of our own homes, and wipes away all that we spend our time and energy in putting together.. We think we are all powerful, yet she can in seconds reduce us to rubble, reminding us she is never more dangerous than when we fail to respect her Power and Might.
While out walking, seeing the berries for the birds to harvest, and nuts for the squirrels, in between the blackberries, I spied something that at first glance looked pretty..
Deadly Nightshade more can be found about this plant here
But in fact the above plant is pretty deadly, and their single berries should NOT be eaten.. It can often be found growing along side Wild Blackberry bushes, so care should be taken when harvesting, though their Single cherry like berries are easily distinguished..
Life holds both shades of light and darkness.. Both grow side by side… Learning to discern and differentiate is what sets us apart. But if we did not have the dark we would not then know the light..
Learning to bridge our differences~ Railway bridge.
We are living in a world where we travel across Time Lines, visiting far away countries we see cultures that can be very different from our own. Yet within each nation, no matter what culture, people experience both Joy and Sorrow, learning to overcome obstacles just as we do. We are all of the same family, the Human Race.
We need now more than ever to build bridges instead of walls that divide us. We do not need to wait until Spring to sow seeds.. We sow our seeds daily, in how our thoughts go out into the world.. We sow them with our compassion and with our love..
Gaia gives us daily our breath, our food and water.. She shows us how intricate we are weaved together. She is also showing us how through our fragility we can Unify and grow together. She shows us how to reach out to each other, stretching a helping hand, as she brings us through her disasters, to help one another..
Her own time lines are altering, shifting, evolving as are we. We can hear her rumbles..
When we gather together, and we align our hearts, when we each generate out Light and Love from our hearts. Those thought patterns go out into Nature and into our communities we are sowing that which we each would like to reap. May we understand all is experience within our Human Heart Grid. The Web is what we weave around the Earth.
I hope as we each begin to understand, we are all of us co-creators upon our Earth plane. That we gather our strength in our Oneness, Our Unity Consciousness. Sow that which we want to reap. Then may we gather in the harvest that we sow.
May you all safely Gather in
Love and Light
