One of the best ways I know to stay healthily and nurtured is to pay attention to the seasons. Eat the food in season participate in activities and events going on around us. It just so happens that next Tuesday is National Night Out in the US. It Started as a public safety campaign but has turned into street parties around the country, where neighbors get out and enjoy each others company. I look forward to relaxing and playing with my neighbors.
August 1st Is Lammas
- Everyone gets into the act of harvesting!
On Lammas, Summer thrives, fully ripe. Are you ready to taste the First Fruits? We’ve reached the peak of our toil to bring our seeds, lives, dreams and causes to fruition. All gardens of life, worked with skill and love or ignorance and fear, hint of the harvest. The Wheel turns. We’re descending into dark even as the sun still glows. We’re hovering between hopes and fears in the swelter of August. With results uncertain in singular and collective lives, the task now is to Trust. In circle, unwind and sing! Chant fears into silly songs and sing hopes, sweet and wistful. Don’t be fooled into anxiety, which only creates more of itself. Better to relax and Play! Enjoy the warmth of the second half of Summer.— Marion Spadone © Mother Tongue Ink 2012,
August 1st is also Rabbit Day: I’ve been told that you will have good luck all month if you say:
- Happy Rabbit Day!
Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit before your feet hit the floor on the first of each month. Since your getting this news late I’m sure it will work it you go back to bed and start over, and why not the prim directive today is to relax and play 😉
