Happy Autumn, Everyone!.  What a wonderful time of year this is.  The Autumnal Equinox occurs today at 7.19pm GMT, the  22nd September 2025. The hours of sunlight have been receding since the summer solstice on the 21st June, and now the days and nights have become of equal length.  The Latin Equi Nox, that is  Equal Night, brings us  the Equinox.
This change of season will bring out the stunning colours of the trees and plants.  The animals are already scurrying around in preparation for the colder months. The early morning and night air becomes brisk with a slight bite, causing us to wrap up and put an extra blanket on the bed.   And as our nearest star, the sun, distinctly melts into a warm golden glow as she sets, maybe it’s time to steal a moment for tea and thoughts of gratitude, for the spiritual symbolism of this time reminds us that there is only a continuing cycle of life.
The lovely Sarah McLaughlan was in the house last night in Chawton!!  It was so good to see her as she shared an ‘inspired’ address and gave some absolutely wonderful messages.  Thank you so much, Sarah, for being with us.  Everyone enjoyed the evening so much!!  Our own delightful Chris Elliot chaired the proceedings.  Thank you both!!
Thank you for beautiful prayers, readings, and music.  Thank you, Lisa, for our music.  Thank you to our hospitality gal, Sue, and our cake maker, Carole, for yet another creation.  Thank you to our wonderful healers and all those who set up, break down, and wash up each week!!

Prayer of the week
Please pray for ALL the animals of the world. Their paths are not always easy.  They need our care and consideration.  We all indeed have the same breath.

Calendar up next.
Have a beautiful week!
Pause, and relish the emerging season.
