Thanksgiving
And the season’s off
The grey nomads know it
Their yelping skeins gain purpose
And set their compass to North
The larks have been shouting
About it for weeks
The fields sky-plotted by song
Proclaimed to the wide world
Mrs Blackbird knows it
Preoccupied, her gaze turned inward
Ready to repeat the rite of renewal
As the world turns again
Let us give thanks, then
For all that sustains us
The Brotherhood and the Sisterhood of it
May ours be an Honourable Harvest
As the hemisphere’s green flame
Licks northward, a remembered kindness
We know the hurtling into the Light
That is bigger than all, forgives all, is all
Thanks be.

Life stirring….
Autumn before last we gathered some Sycamore Keys from beneath the tree at Cottascarth……

I potted them up, and they ‘took’. They came through last Winter, and are now putting out fresh, new leaves…
This Autumn, we’ll plant them out.
Connecting.
