" Protection covers me and mine,
Abundant gifts grow Nature divine.
Mabon comes with
Balance dear,
The second such time of the year.
Second harvest adundance flows,
Through our labout the storehouse grows.
We fill ouir stores through Harvest Moon,
For winter's cold is coming soon.
Harvest bring both hope and fear
Harder times are drawing near.
Bless this house with abundance dear,
And bless all who are dwelliong here.
Strength of the cycles
For all to see,
Bring colour to land and tree.
Red, yellow, brown, and amber,
Dress the forest, preparing for slumber.
My spirit embraced the dwindling light,
I am ready new for the longer night.
Protection and safety there will be,
As the wheel of the year turns, blessed be.
The balance now is
perfect and right,
Preparations made for Demeter's night.
Searching she goes and serching she will be,
Till kore's return to you and me.
Mabon's magick dances in me,
Autumn blessings to all,
So mote it be!"

We rarely rest having reachedd on goal before we eagerly pursue the next. This striving makes for a full and rich life, but for real happiness, we must practice the art of gratitude.
As Lass Tzu said:
" Be content with what you have;
Rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
The whole word belongs to you. "
Beging this on Mabon and continue a practice of gratitude throughout the year. Every morning, light a stick of incense( your choice ) on your altar, or where you like, and take a few minutes to thank the Spirit(s) for the multitude of blessings you enjoy each day.
