#10. Spinning Wheel

" And the Seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down ...
We're captive on the carousel of Time.

We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came ...
And go round and round and round
In the Circle Game ." Joni Mitchell

Harvesting, washing and juicing fresh tomatoes this morning
with my Sister-in-law, I am reminded how Seasons Change.
During early Spring, we planted seeds, watched them sprout
then transplanted the seedlings into rich, fertile Valley Soil.
We hummed patiently with the Bees pollinating the blossoms.

With Summer, fruit and vegetables began to swell and grow.
Giant Pumpkins await their fate, as Indian Summer wanes,
giving rise to the Fall Festivities and Harvest Celebrations.
Fresh tomato sauce, with basil, now simmers on the stove.
The heavenly aroma fills our senses and make house/home.
The garden will decompose, remain dormant thru Winter.

We live in a perpetually expanding, Abundant Universe.
Change, is a natural constant of Life. Why do we resist?

While on pilgrimage in Mexico, praying in Mayan Temples,
We entered the Tomb of the Grandmother's. I had a vision of
women weaving the warp and weft of Life in Dreamtime.
Visiting the Tomb of Pacal Votan, we observed the glyphs on
his sarcophagus, and the Mayan Calendar, ending in 2012.

According to many Indigenous Tribes around the World, we
are living within a very unique time in our Planets History.
On December 21st 2012, our Sun moves into alignment
with the Central Sun of our Galaxy and is Eclipsed. This
event marks the ending, of a 2,000 year Galactic Cycle.
Prophecy states, "Time as we know it" will cease to exist.

Life Cycles Begin and End, giving birth to New Cycles.
May we be blessed with Love, Light, Wisdom, Protection,
Abundance and Peace as Sacred Wheel Spins Round.

May we embrace, practice and share, great acts of Faith.
Approaching the threshold of a vast, expanding Unknown
with unexplored territories in Science, Technology, Education,
and the Arts, may we remain rooted deeply in Spirituality.
