Autumn Equinox

Man, that came around disturbingly quick, the Autumnal Equinox is here already! I say that, though out in the forest you know it. Today may be a point of equilibrium, though this cycle is definitely coming to an end, the forest and it's inhabitants are all winding down, and you can almost see the colour draining from the land as you walk through it. That's fair enough, nature deserves a well earned rest, it's done well under challenging conditions. That's not to say there's not stuff still going on. It's second harvest after all, and a time to gather in nuts (the Cob and Hazel in our garden have been prolific this year) and the last of the fruits, as well as a time to collect seeds for the future. It'll soon be mushroom season too, fingers crossed, now that the much needed rains have arrived. It's a good point to take stock of our blessing and give thanks. I hope that Alban Elfed finds your basket brimming, with all the seeds you planted earlier in the year falling on fertile ground and growing to rude fruition. Equinox blessings y'all.
