receiving the harvest — thanksgiving
we are into the harvest cycle now
how does it feel
in your heart
in your belly?
how does it feel in your
whole body
when you look back to last
winter and early spring
the time of sowing
how does it feel
what do you see
do you notice patterns of
association
between the seed and the
harvest
do you like what you see
what do you feel
i have found it is best
not to judge
what appears to be a weed
in the garden
often turns out to be a
sacred healing herb
it is best not to judge
receive the harvest
be thankful for what
returns
sanctify your sons and
your daughters
and
deliver the gift
as it is in you and me
so it is in the world
the world as a whole has
moved into a season of harvest
together
we reap the harvest from
centuries of sowing
how does it feel
do you like what you see
now appearing in the earth
it is best not to judge
in the world cycle
the fire of harvest blends
with the water of new
beginnings
this is a newly dawning
day
and a fine mist rises up from
the face of the land
watering the whole garden
the planting of the lord
receive the harvest
be thankful for what
returns
sanctify your sons and
your daughters
deliver the gift
deliver the gift
