It isn’t all about literal sowing, fertility & harvest. The woods behind my home will green every spring whether I scatter seeds or not. Autumn has already begun to spread her warm colors over the trees, but I’ve never harvested a single berry or root. There are those, however, who have engaged in such activities in order to feed me, my family, and the extended family of humanity. There are even those who have striven to keep my food honest and wholesome, whether protesting against genetically-modified foods, or being careful about pesticides and fertilizers used in growing their crops.

I can’t say I can warm up to celebrating the cycle of office projects or creative pursuits. Gratitude for those who support our lives through their own efforts of growing and supplying sustenance can be my focus, as reflected in the Lady’s natural cycles of the woodland I cherish.
