Welcome!
Consider how many events and people you will encounter today,
All of them having some impact on you and you on them.
Allow your five senses to wake up and open so that you will be able to harvest all that awaits you today.
Have a time of meditation now.
Close your eyes to close off distractions and focus on your inner senses.
When thoughts come,
As they will,
Let them slide away.
Drop down into yourself as a pebble drops into a lake and slowly sinks down through the layers of water to the very bottom.
From this meditative state,
Gently bring the attention of your senses to your physical being.
As you touch the parts of yourself with the energy of awareness,
You bring wholeness and unity as if you are stitching yourself together like a quilt.
Just as the time of year reminds us to harvest the fruits of the season,
So is it healthy to harvest our emotions,
Also the fruits of hard work,
Time and natural growing processes.
In everything that grows,
There is a spark of life,
A spirit that breathes life to keep the spark in.
When I see people who are experiencing a crisis or tragedy,
They tell me that their spirit is wounded.
All help is to heal the spirit.
May your spirit have an abundant harvest this day,
Gathering what you need to keep your spark bright and shining.
Your gift today is gathering.
