Harvest Time
Today is Autumn Equinox, known to myself and many others as Mabon. Mabon is a harvest celebration, where the abundant fruits of the fields are honored with feasting and merriment. I had a wonderful Mabon experience this past Saturday with an early celebration of the Sabbat among members of my Coven and our guests, some of whom were fellow members of the Living Tapestry Circle tradition.
In honor of the coming of harvest season, I thought that I'd share a paragraph or two about a harvest of sorts that is coming up in my life: a harvest of the Warrior Healer.
For several years now, I've been working on a book that will put down on paper what I've learned during my ongoing journey of transformation. After several roadblocks and delays that ended up being quite productive, it looks like I'm about to harvest what I have sown.
I'm about to give two presentations on the Warrior Healer - one this Thursday at a local community center [Interfaith Center], and one in November for a local spiritual group [Universal Spirituality]. I've had some good one-on-one discussion of the Warrior Healer, but so far it hasn't materialized into a group. Now that I'm lending more of my personal experience to the project and offering a human narrative rather than an abstract theory, I'm hoping that I'll be able to find other people who find the Warrior Healer journey as compelling as I do. Together, we can work to create a new and better world.
At the same time that these presentations have sprung up, I've also made progress in my Warrior Healer book. I'm in the process of transforming the first part of the book into a narrative rather than a theoretical explanation. This way, the reader can follow a personal journey and explore the Warrior Healer's path with mind and heart alike rather than wading through a theory devoid of context. Not only does this personal touch make the book more accessible and relevant to people's own personal lives; it also allows me to engage in the joys of storytelling that I've been putting on hold while I finished this book. More fun for the author means more fun for the reader!
It's been a bumpy road, but well worth every minute of it. Here's to the harvest...
