Equinox and First Fruit Gathering Ceremony

P1050003Last evening we expressed gratitude to the Creator for the Maple Tree and the first fruit, maple syrup. We also explored Spring through  the Medicine Wheel. In the process we were reminded that Spring is both a season and a state of being, a marker of the passage of the year  and a space we inhabit in our lives. Jennie and I are grateful to all who were present in body and/or spirit.
