Mid-Autumn Mooncake Festival lands on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar — on September 17th 2024 (today!). This is a time to celebrate the moon as it symbolizes the reunion with family, loved ones, and friends by sharing mooncakes and fruits from the summer’s bounty. Mayan, Greek, and Chinese civilizations all share roots in the celebration of the moon.

Chinese folklore evolves around the moon goddess Chang E and her pet Yu Tu, the jade rabbit. The jade rabbit is depicted with a mortar and pestle pounding herbal medicine, mooncakes or other medicinal tinctures. Japanese and Korean folklore renders the rabbit as making rice cakes akin to mochi and tteok. Regardless of culture and interpretation, the universality of the medicinal-moon-rabbit can be attributed to lunar pareidolia and shared amongst families around the world.

Take a moment, share a mooncake or two with those you hold dear to the heart, and savor the waning summer light.

on the fickle and transient nature of duality.

Qi 氣 and Blood 血, like Yang 陽and Yin 陰, are two peas in a pod. They complete one another in creating a whole and yet, stand alone, each holds the potential for new growth.

Gu Qi 穀氣 is often translated as the qi of grain and water. It is the nutrients our body extract from food and drink; it is our post-natal source of vitality. In a nutshell, we are what we eat. Consume a wide variety of foods, choose wisely, and portion smartly. Allow movement to balance stillness.

Plums

When their time comes they fall
without wind, without rain.
They seep through the trees’ muslin
in a slow fermentation.

Daily the low sun warms them
in a late love that is sweeter
than summer. In bed at night
we hear heartbeat of fruitfall.

The secretive slugs crawl home
to the burst honeys, are found
in the morning mouth on mouth,
inseparable.

We spread patchwork counterpanes
for a clean catch. Baskets fill,
never before such harvest,
such a hunters’ moon burning

the hawthorns, drunk on syrups
that are richer by night
when spiders pitch
tents in the wet grass.

This morning the red sun
is opening like a rose
on our white wall, prints there
the fishbone shadow of a fern.

The early blackbirds fly
guilty from a dawn haul
of fallen fruit. We too
breakfast on sweetnesses.

Soon plum trees will be bone,
grown delicate with frost’s
formalities. Their black
angles will tear the snow.

for me • for you • whole

Doyo, the transitional period between seasons, is the time for grounding. For the late-summer-early-autumn transition, nourish the body with warm moistening foods like squash and pear soup, turkey chili, and bone broth congee to shed the summer heat and embrace the autumn chill.

Here’s a little triptych to remember the bounties from summer’s passing. And to welcome autumn with open arms.

The crickets felt it was their duty to warn everybody that summertime cannot last forever.
