What is it about a small group of older women
coming together in spiritual celebration that is
so powerful? I've witnessed it over and over,
yet it rather gets me each and every time. The
time of year is Imbolc and the celebration is for
Saint Brighid. Maybe you have to be Catholic,
Irish or Pagan to know our Lady Brighid, but
she is indeed much loved and honored throughout
the entire world. Imbolc is a heartening time,
indicating that Spring is only six weeks away. For
those of you looking out your windows at this
ghastly hour of the morning, you'll see it's snowing
and heavily. Knowing Spring is around the corner,
as it were, rather keeps those of us with Winter
issues going! So, Groundhog's day on February 2nd,
if you prefer, is a time of fires. If you're anything
like us, any excuse to have a fire is a good one. And,
you simply do not go to bed while the fire is still
burning! Sit, watch and wait! Imbolc, Saint Brighid,
Groundhog's day . . . Spring is coming . . . drink
your milk, 'tis the season after all!
beloved brighid
so missing you my lady
prithee bring spring soon
