There can be a satisfaction and pleasure in this reaping and gathering.


Some of the earliest images we have found, set down by humans are cave markings, and many depict this festival of ritual accomplishment and pleasure.

The metaphors are in abundance. The dances are as varied as the cultures and people who wiggle and move to the inner and outer sounds. Look around you and take them in. If we do this, we can see the beginnings of theater and many art forms.

We have a need to ACT, then we have a need to REST, then we have a need to CELEBRATE, and then to SHARE these moments with our clan.
Allow your eyes to wash
again over these images and take a moment to reflect on your accomplishments of
the year. And friend, make this
list without criticism of what you did not do. That is for the spring. Now we are watching the sparkle of a live fire and the
rising bits of ember. As our hands
encircle our bowls of food and drink, we also swallow the images of the
celebrations. It, as well as the
food, will carry us through the darkness to come.
Once a year, I ask anyone
who enjoys this site to hit SHARE so it will go on your FB wall or share it with one other person. Ask one person to join us by the fire
of community. Thank you for that. Misty
