Leaves blaze tawny and russet with bright beauty in this last fall of light. Seedpods thicken on wild grasses, elderberries shake fistfuls of dark rain, quinces shine treasure brighter than coin. We give thanks for Gaia’s storehouse of plenty, for this true wealth, as she gives and gives of her body: berries, squashes, beans— more and more we request and receive. Eat, she says, to all creaturely life— this is your being. Honour Gaia’s nature by refusing to squander or disrespect her. Learn to need less and waste nothing; find ways to create sustainability and safeguard the magnificent diversity that is the body of the Goddess. We are living in the Sixth Great Extinction, losing our beloved creatures and plants. Take time to care for something that is other, and in need; from garden bird to snow leopard, all ecology is linked directly to our hearts. We may grieve for the lost summer of the world but change is our certainty: the balance of all future abundance is in our hands.
