Celebrate autumn!

Sisters of Providence, White Violet Center for Eco-Justice staff, volunteers and friends gathered in the Reflection Garden at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Ind., to celebrate the Fall Equinox on Sept. 21.

Everyone blessed the four directions, sang, reflected on the past year and looked toward the future. It was beautiful. The sun was shining and the orange pumpkins and mums were glowing. The sounds of singing voices and the rain sticks echoed throughout the area.

Everyone participated in answering the following questions: If this is the time of harvest, then what have you harvested? What is your gift? What is the thing, the value, that you have brought to fruition?

Each person chose a random quote and read them aloud one by one going around the circle.

Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower. Albert Camus
