The World Over

Gathering and bringing near,
we extend outward and pull in close.
Repeated, it’s a mending motion.
Rake crossing layers of earth
in hands that move quickly now, softly here.
The small mound speaks,
”I will grow again”.
What world warms under your earth?
Is there a memory of our connection?

As autumn blows into NYC, (finally the weather is warrants wooly clothes and snuggly socks) I’m thinking about all the ways this season asks us to gather in closely. Whether by wrapping ourselves in layers, or collecting leaves and nuts, or by planning meals and sharing our homes, this season calls us together. When we gather, what intentions are we calling forth?

This fall and winter I hope to multiply our connections. Creating opportunities for us to speak and share, remember and grow, align and perceive what’s possible when we come into conversation.
