Pleasant House At the Threshold seasonal notes and poems   An Equinox Note to My Friends Just feeling to touch base now the autumn equinox is upon us, along with a new moon, and a solar eclipse – Quite a day this! The heavens are busy signifying the start of a new season and with the eclipse comes an invitation perhaps to stay more connected to who we are and what we love rather than to who and what we, or others, think we should be? Meanwhile life in the garden is full of activity. The sturdy old oak, raining acorns, is spreading seeds to be sown for the season to come. And the small red squirrel is busy harvesting this abundance that she may be nourished through the winter. So too for us perhaps? A time to take stock. Bring focus to that we wish to harvest to see us through the seasons to come, and sense into which seeds we wish to plant to flower with spring. All the very best Nanna Aida   In The Balance A Tree stands bright Against the sky A golden leaf Solitary amidst the green Flutters slowly Toward ground A still day today Sun peeking out Through cloud Life slowly moving With the fall The thin treble of a bird Beckons me to listen “Nature and your nature Have their times They know what to do And when” It seems to sing. When worlds are shifting Let them.   ©Nanna Aida Svendsen September 22, 2006 www.pleasanthouse.com.    HOMEPAGE
