The World-Mending Ceremony
Autumn gatherings for shared responsibility, repair, and recommitment.
And when the leaves begin their fall,and the light leans long and low,gather again for the World-Mending Ceremony.This is the time of truth, of shared responsibility.
Speak of the cracks in the world you share.Name what has hurt, and what still needs tending.Choose one wound to hold together,then weave a pledge of care around it.
Shape a centerpiece of wood, fiber, stone, or flame.A work of hands, a mark of the moment.From it, all take a piece, carried home as reminder,a sign that the work belongs to all.
So the year turns, not in silence,but through gatherings that mend and renew.The future is not waited for, but shaped, together.
