Is anyone else just plum blown away by how fast the year is going by? It seems like just yesterday that I was mulling over ideas for what to plant this year, sitting in a white world of snow and dreaming a little dream of how things would be at the end of the harvest year.
Now we’re on the threshold of yet another harvest, the 12th CUSP harvest since it began to form in 1997. Each year, our harvest grows on the layers of the ones before it, each feeding the next and the next and the next in automatic crop rotation. By the 4th – 5th year, the CUSP path had refined into a sophisticated, but easy to manage and implement system of positive manifestation. It has never let us down in all those years.
The crops are tall in the field and becoming heavy with the first harvest. Far from being the end of the cycle, harvest is the time when we work harder than we have at any other time of the year. The next 12 weeks of harvest until it ends on November 2nd will be challenging, to say the least. We harvest until we feel like our backs will break and our legs will give out on us. In our “real” lives, we are now seeing the results of months of preparation and activity. The changes begin and sweep us along in the process of reaching our goals.
That is not to say that a big truck drives up to your doorstep full of harvest on August 2nd and piles it in front of your house. No, you still to go get it and that, in and of itself, continues to be part of the manifestation process. I have had plenty of years that the third week or so of October rolls around and I am still wondering, “Where the heck is my harvest??” Although the timeline is specific to the energies of the holidays celebrated and held dear by our ancient agriculturally based ancestors, the energy of nature still has its own ideas. Sometimes, we don’t even realize that the harvest actually has come in until we look back on it in retrospect. We often get such a firm idea of how harvest will look to us, that it shows up and sits at our feet in a different form and we don’t even notice.
When you are contemplating your harvest, always go back to the exact words you used at your planting in March and the ideas that were in your head at that time. Even write them out and look at them, meditating on them and considering all of the inflections and ways this goal could come about.
Personally, Eric planted the goal of finding a vocation he could be passionate about that would meet our financial needs. For a long time, we thought it would be the Highway Patrol, which seemed to come up out of nowhere as an option. As the situation unfolded, however, we began to see that it was not the idea choice for him and he was instead lead into the waters of the womb of the Mother Earth to mine for gold. He has spent many hours in the past several weeks working in the American and Cosumnes Rivers, literally searching for the gifts the Mother Earth has to deliver. Now that the harvest is upon us and the Earth is yielding up her beautiful, healthy offspring, we expect he is going to be blessed with an abundant harvest.
I planted a healthy weight loss and so far, I have lost 30 pounds. Many tools came my way through unusual sources to help me along my way. I originally planned to lose much more by now, but was led down a different path and now I know that the weight will be lost in stages. The next stage begins this weekend as harvest debuts and will likely end November 2nd.
I hope your harvest is boutiful and your celebration of this magical time is joyous.
