Emma reflects on the harvest season as a time of abundance, and on how contemporary life reinforces a feeling of scarcity while the bounty of autumn argues the opposite. She invites readers to consider their own harvest — which hopes have flourished this year, who deserves thanks for helping, and what should be let go as the season turns. She draws on the autumn equinox as a moment of exact balance between light and dark, connecting it to balancing postures and the cultivation of equanimity, and encourages exploring the complementary forces within ourselves: the quietness and the busy-ness, the ice and fire, the logical and the intuitive.
