Spiritual Column

By Esyule TwinStar

Autumn is the time of harvest and I have this image of Kuan Yin standing with her beautiful urn of unending pure waters of compassion flowing into the full bearing gardens of our lives. Surrounding her is vast diversity of color and shape in all the healing plants bearing fruit from branch and vine. The message is to continually feed the positive in your life with kindness, love and understanding. These waters are pure because they represent pure truth and the nurturing of the world by that essence. Washing away inner delusions and outer lies, full and abundant life force will flow in, giving us the energy and strength to open to the abundance of the world. This is a time of great change. Not only is the season shifting, but the greater cycle is also coming into a new, so very positive era, countering old negative thought forms and behaviors. It is time to let those old patterns that have only brought suffering die off. Kuan Yin stands with us, a gentle reminder to fill all newly emptied space with kindness—surely an easy action, be compassionate—an extension of love to your self and the world, and to compost the old. This will yield a new world that we can be at peace with, though it will require a gestation time. Blessings to all as we greet this Autumn Equinox with hope, love and light.
