First Fruits: What are you thankful for?
O Hadondia*, great is thy bounty
Endless are the streams of thine abundance
We call upon you now to nourish us
And those around the world who are in need
Teach us to receive and know that we deserve
Teach us to give and share the overflow...
Today is Lammas, the festival of first harvest. It is a time for us to be thankful and aware of the abundance in our lives, as we celebrate that which we have worked for. It is also a time of sacrifice as we let go of what is no longer needed in our lives.
This Lammas, with the ongoing green debates, it is important to remember that the Earth is a living being, and Her bounty needs to be shared equally by all. If not, all will suffer, but those who have less will suffer the most.
*Anglo-Saxon Goddess of Abundance and Prosperity
