Underneath the Autumn Moon

A flaming red moon rolls across the beautiful hills, gently bouncing like a vast balloon reminding us that  the harvest is plenty and October will soon shine like a gold doubloon.  The Harvest moon arrives, booming softly through the heavens, like the echo of a great bassoon.  
The earth replies all night, with a drum,
It is time to give thanks for the things we have, whether its abundant crops or other blessings. It's a time of plenty, of gratitude, of sharing our abundance with those less fortunate.
Listen to the beat of the drum 
Some of us set up our Altars to honor the seasons of our lives 
some of us bake bread and share peace with one  another every chance 
we get. 
Let us enjoy the Autumn moon together this year,

A beautiful imagery that I’m looking forward to this coming fall. Not quite ready to ditch summer just yet, but fall is my most favorite season. Mystic Rose, it’s so good to come back and read yours again. Hope all is as fabulous with you always :)
