KEYNOTE:

Spring is a time to nourish deep roots which grow to fruition if well-tended and cultivated to fruition in summer, leading to the late summer and autumn cycle of fruitfulness, eventually giving way to completion as we are called to align, once again, to the inevitable shift of rest and satisfaction, as we have our needs anticipated and met for the winter of our ever changing conditions. Are you able to identify the beginnings around you and be present amidst the flow toward you as readily as you are identified with what is leaving you or ending? During the balance point of the Equinox, we recognize the taught equity produced by the light and the dark, the dominating and the yielding forces of our world. We will now adapt once more, drawn increasingly to indoors through winter, signaled by the shortening of days and lengthening of evenings, the dormancy of plant life and the retreat of living things, we surrender to a new condition of intensity.

The deeper and more aligned we become with our seasonal shifts of condition, the more fruitful our harvest.

Let's allow our work to be done, gathered and brought within in every sense, so that we may know the inspiration of our metal time, filled with shine and purpose and further poised in resilience.
