"As autumn returs to earths northern hemisphere,and day and night are briefly but perfectly balanced at the Equinox,may we remember how fragile life is...human life,surely,but also the lives of all creatures,trees and plants ,waters and animals. May we make wise choices in how and what we harvest.May earths weather turn kinder,may there be enough food for all creatures.May the diminishing light in our daytime skies be met by an increasing compassion and tolerance in our hearts" Kathleen Jenks
