Mabon is a harvest festival, the second of three, that encourages pagans to “reap what they sow,” both literally and figuratively. It is the time when night and day stand equal in duration; thus is it a time to express gratitude, complete projects and honor a moment of balance.
It has been a summer to be remembered not so much for summer, but for a new kitchen.The kitchen has been both a difficult and a remarkable experience. And I do feel blessed that we were able to do it. No one who owns a house in the bay area today can complain, and we are fortunate to have had as many quirky craftsman involved to complete the project. We passed the final inspection today and the final cabinet details are being installed as I type.
This morning after fighting my way through traffic to get to my 9:00 yoga class I realized that I had come to what we call our "king's X spot". There I was on my mat surrounded by my best yoga buddies trying to find to find and honor the balance of both mind and body.
Let's hope the four persimmons on the tree ripen and I can turn them into something to be shared with friends.
