September endings


The moon is waxing toward october and the full, harvest sky...no one seems quite ready to release summer. A few faded and stubborn hydrangeas persist amidst the honey leaves and chrysthamum displays . The air smells of fresh cider and chimney smoke and just-cut haystalks. Bees in a hurry draw out nectar for the onset of colder nights and darker mornings.

Yoga classes move into new session, new students arrived and patient yoginis return as well bringing in great energy to the studio.
We'll have an opportunity to share Reiki at the Birch Heights Residences in Derry on october 10th. Many practitioners will be there to encourage wellness, health and balance for residents and members of the local communities.

There is much transition present; clearing space and making room seems to be the theme of many whether is home, nature or work related. I had the chance to watch a master gardener at the Longwood Gardens as she dutifully cleared out and cut back waterlilies in the estate's water garden. She was focused and quietly precise in her hip-waders, gently moving through her trimming task while perfect pink, yellow and indigo waterlilies floated around her. Enormous tray-like leaves carried the summer cuttings as she went about her work. The reflections of the blossoms were almost more beautiful than the lilies themselves. 
sending peace.
