The Birthing of Spring

The Naked Earth is Warm with Spring

With green grass and bursting trees

Leans to the sun's kiss glorying,

and quivers in the sunny breeze

Welcome Spring

This weekend comes the Spring Equinox. It is one of the two occurrences of the year cycle when the day is of equal lengths… Half dark and half light. It is the time when Spring comes forth and enters into the cycle to bring warmth and rebirth of life. Already signs have been seen that show the earth preparing for her grand entrance. From the flowering of the blooms to the tender shoots that are springing forth. Her presence is near.

For me this time of year has always been a time when an awakening seems to occur in my being. It is a time when an area of me is brought forth and transformed once more. Being a highly reflective person I tend to ponder on many things and how they may affect me or those whom I hold dear. I try to be aware of where I may need to give more attention so that I may be on the path that I should be. This year is no different.

I have been anxious for this time to come this year, as it seems many others have also been. There is an uneasiness it seems in the world. The occurrences that have happened as of late… the struggles many are having in regards to finances and such…. and just the everyday attempt to continually move forward in one’s life.

I wish for you this Ostara that as Spring comes forth she brings new beginnings. A rebirth of vitality that gives the strength needed to move forward with the things that are ahead of you. I wish the sun to shine and warmth to surround you, if only in a figurative manner. I wish the insight and wisdom needed to achieve such things is easily found. Blessings to you and yours.
