Dear friends,
Today, I bow deep in gratitude for all of you and in remembrance of the love of the earth that supports and sustains us. May your days be filled with love, light, health, and joy.
This post came today from the Inayatiyya and is a wonderful reminder that I wanted to share:
To Thee We Dedicate Our Feast
In chaos whirl the blasted leaves
And summer’s birds are no more seen.
The grain is bundled into sheaves
As ravens stop to squawk and glean.
Magenta glows the harvest moon
And yellow gleam the dimming days,
Abounding in the lavish boon
Of emerald squash and amber maize.
Praise in excelsis be to God,
Beneficent beyond compare!
Thou give us bread from seed and clod
And give us breath from swirling air.
To Thee we dedicate our feast
And humbly offer up our psalm
For all of autumn is Thy priest
And in Thee rests our golden calm.
