The perfect confluence of idea and social
convention intersecting with Nature's
co-operative indulgence granting us
communion with indescribable beauty
and a touch of pensiveness. The occasion
boasts an ancient lineage of storied antiquity.
Awe-struck and thankful humans gathering
the richness of fall harvest in grains, nuts
and seeds they soon enough, in primal
need, learned to place into the freed and
fertile ground when Nature permitted spring
to banish sterile winter for another year.
We observe and enjoy our social rituals of
this day dedicated to contemplative knowledge
of our indebtedness to all that we have learned
to reap. A national holiday of recognition of our
fundamental needs so fulsomely fulfilled.
Ambling through the brilliant autumnal woods
the sky above a wide generous blue, gentle
breezes shuffling the transformed foliage, a
community takes its preprandial annual
perambulation of grace to admire the season
and the habituated reason the day is a
celebration of beauty and thanksgiving.
