Lughnasadh Moon
full midsummer moon
the first days of the harvest
no reapers to sow

As summer winds down I think about farmers and wonder how they will manage after the recent ice raid’s have disappeared members of their workforce.
There may or may not be enough workers. There may or may not be varying tariff taxes pushing the prices we pay higher.
There may or may not be wars and while our fearless leader keeps the nuclear codes close.
The common element above is uncertainty. These things may or may not happen. And because of that, it makes no sense to worry about what might be. There are some things of course that are not uncertain.
For me, it’s a call to show kindness and compassion. To hold a place at our table for the marginalized and the outcast. We are not helpless and there is still reason to hope.

And glimmers…there are always glimmers to be found. Tonight as the moon blooms into fullness, it matters not that the night act is overcast with clouds. The moon still illuminates the sky. It’s a beautiful night! Rest well my friends.

I’ve just been watching 3 buzzards spiralling on the thermals and mock attacking each other. They were having great fun, and so was I!

Buzzards are amazing creatures. Here we have turkey vultures. They are the quintessential cleaning crew of the earth making quick business of the fallen. Occasionally, while I’m working near the window the sun light will fade and when I look out it is a vulture sweeping by.

When we lived in Cyprus I used to enjoy watching the Griffon Vultures. They are ugly creatures but highly efficient. There are apparently only 20 or 30 left now, due to poisoning and electrocution!

Oh my goodness. I want sure I had ever seen one, so I looked it up. They are massive. And their heads are so much prettier than the vultures that over shadow our region. Like them though, these birds are extremely efficient at keeping the earth biome healthy. Just fascinating!😊

Uncertainty, the one certainty, eh? Prayers continue for you–and the world!
