I will write on a variety of subjects, subjects which are very 'grounded' or 'earthy', in other words, a bit of my inner world. I have a strong need to this as I write songs as my main hobby and it's often difficult to describe the related thoughts and philosophies behind the music. You see, I'm keeping also one other blog, diary of my band (you can check it under my profile), and I'm sure that these two blogs are going to have - and actually they should have - some interconnection, I guess we'll see it later.
We are nearing the balance of scales: In a couple of days, day and night are of equal length. Autumn Equinox, or Mabon (plus some other names are used too) will be held on the 22nd of September. The final struggle between lighter and darker half of the year will end to the victory of the latter and we float again towards Samhain and/or Halloween (+other names).
The word 'seasonal' describes this year cycle period well. Even though Autumn Equinox, one day in September, does not nowadays mean a thing for most of the people in humankind, we could at least try to adjust our diets in to seasonal products. All greens are now cheap, fresh and they're abundant. It's really the best time to bake apple pies and roast vegetable dishes or whatever you fancy.
I have a privilege to grow things in my own garden and I also have four apple trees (though don't have to "grow" them, as they do it by themselves). During September, I sometimes eat around 5-10 apples a day. As a little kid, I used to hide hours hiding in the garden shadows eating gooseberries. Thanks to this, I guess, my stomach is very resilient.
