The Great Pumpkin was Alone. He thought “I am One. I want to become Many.” This single thought caused a Vibration, which eventually became Sound (“Om”), which prompted all Creation. Empty furrows–the space between vibrations– begat more Pumpkins, which represent the dream state of all consciousness.
A Pumpkin at rest is Perfect Bliss. Therefore, carve a pumpkin at your own risk.

“Who is it knocking in the night,
That fain would enter in?”
“The ghost of Lost Delight am I,
The sin you would not sin,
Who comes to look in your two eyes
And see what might have been.”
Poem from Theodosia Garrison
Superb presenting style, you have for story-telling

Very nice
Her posts are always interesting
With quotes from far and wide
No smart talk just from the street
But views from either side
Now Pumpkins big as cannon balls
With flavors no match to speak
But can she cook a pumpkin pie ?
Or serve us pumpkin soup ?
Best wishes
Is it me or pumpkins are a bit scary? I mean, they are huge, orange, not that good tasting… and they have scary faces around Halloween.
So, wait, have I got this right? Better for me to skip the carving part? YES!
Oh. This Path of Awakening post is really good.
I’ve never seen a pumpkin field before .. beautiful photo’s, especially the one with all those bugs enjoying this treat
Funnyyyy

Pumpkins on the path of awakening? This is a great way to change the Halloween party!
Well, Sera, I will make my pumpkin soup!

nobody expects the spanish inquisition!!
Stunning shots! You are an amazing story-teller.
First, thanks for your comment that permits me to discover your page : what a creative and busy one ! Love the first photo with the bugs climbing up their orange Halloweenesque planet !!
a very nice story! so whimsical and entertaining!
by the way if i may ask what kind of software do you use?

Nice photo story here Sera. Those beetles are something special. They have a kind of post nuclear quality don’t you think.
I don’t know why, but the bugs all over the pumpkin just made my skin crawl.
You have tapped into or explained my fear/aversion to carving pumpkins. It’s not about the mess – it’s all about disturbing the Perfect Bliss (what bliss??) of the universe…
Wow, who knew my lazy streak is really about peace. Nice!
ah, these bugs all over the pumpkin are just unbearable

This is hysterical, Seraphine. I love it.
