Fall Equinox September 22 makes it a special season:
“Autumn is the eternal corrective. It is ripeness, color, and a time of completion; but it is also breadth, depth, and distance. What person can stand with Autumn on a hilltop and fail to see the span of the world and the substance of the rolling hills that reach to the far horizon?” -Hal Borland, This Hill, This Valley
“The season for enjoying the fullness of life by partaking of the harvest, sharing the harvest with others, and reinvesting and saving portions of the harvest for yet another season of growth.” – Denis Waitley
“Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run; To bend with apples the moss’d cottage-trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel; to set budding more, And still more, later flowers for the bees, Until they think warm days will never cease, For Summer has o’er-brimm’d their clammy cells.” – John Keats
International Day of Peace
The International Day of Peace, observed around the world September 21, was established in 1981 by the United Nations General Assembly, which declares it as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire. The 2021 theme: Recovering Better for an Equitable and Sustainable World
“We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.” -Dalai Lama
“Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.” – Albert Einstein
“If you want peace, you don’t talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies.” -Desmond Tutu
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. -Jimi Hendrix
