The crops are almost ready, almost fully matured. The smell of dark rich soil mixes with hot sun on grain, weaving & waving in the breeze. Fingertips run over the spiked catches around the tops of wheat stalks as they bend in the wind. Everything leading up to this moment just before the harvest, we take a breath to assess and stand in our fields and offer gratitude for the hard work it has taken, the support surrounding us and the luck needed for a good crop.
This season may have been relatively smooth and we are in a time of open celebration, or perhaps it was the most challenging yet - where we are met with a feeling of intensity or disappointment. Can we see and accept the reality of all of the different layers coming in to this harvest? Can we see the responsibilities we own and also accept the factors outside of our control - the weather, infestations, drought, our luck. It is easy to celebrate when everything is going well, and our crops feel effortlessly grown. But how much more is that celebratory spirit when we know we fought with our blood sweat and tears to take us to the finish line. Of accepting and acknowledging the outcomes. This is where we meet Sif.
She stands at the gateway between crop and harvest - where our haminga runs deep, with our feet dug into the dirt and our hands open to the sky, we are ready to receive.
