I just wanted to share this lovely quote from Alexia Allen of Hawthorn farm. She puts out a blog that is always entertaining and profound in its earth-based wisdom and loving grace.
“You can tell our hemisphere is tilting away from the sun. It shows in the yellowing alder leaves, the slant of the light, the shifted constellations. You can tell by the smells, by the steam from the compost pile on a cool morning, by the pumpkins swelling on the vine. Spring blossoms seem so long ago. Late summer is filled with sweet wistfulness. It’s the season of blackberries on vanilla ice cream, the season of knowing that summer will end. No one ever knows the whole future. We all muddle towards it, because we’re all human. The best we can do is trust each moment and ourselves, and absorb the beauty around us whenever we need it. May you breathe deeply and peacefully as you bask in golden sunlight.”
