Autumnal love

To Autumn
O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained
With the blood of the grape, pass not,
but sit
Beneath my shady roof, there thou may'st rest,
And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe;
And all the daughters of the year shall dance,
Sing now the lusty song of fruits and flowers.
William Blake

oh, how I am loving this time of year. Every week I have a reminder remind me that I want to do creative journalling with my boys - today we did for the first time in a long time. It was fun and above is what I created. We are really relishing the change in season this year. The Harvest Moon was celebrated with yoga & 5 rythmns dance in the Yoga Yurts. The Equinox was celebrated by camping in the New Forest & having a party out in the darkenst depths amongst the trees, in our circle of a million candle lights - dancing and loving every minute - enjoying the fruits of the grape harvest... We also went over to Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour to watch the little native Red Squirrels.



We have had pumpkins, sunflowers & conkers decorating our home. And today I found this pumpkin pie recipe I am going to make tomorrow - a first for me I think. We carved pumpkins today too, roasting the seeds - yum.

HERE WE GO AGAIN

Right, so I am going to use this forum again - this time to share my seminar that I am doing, well, the breakthroughs that I have, the exploration I am undertaking. I got stuck on the chapter about sorting out our money to free up our creativity in The Artists Way, then just got busy and didn't like how much time I was spending on the computer. So, this time around my posts are going to be brief & I am going to make sure I don't spend too much time in bogland! The internet can be such a vacuum for time & I already have major time conversations going on - I never have enough to do all the things I want to do... so, we'll see how it goes. All for now, I am currently procrastinating about reading chapters 3 & 19 for tomorrow lecture...
