Pondering the miracle of the morning after . . .
I spent yesterday celebrating Imbolc with two
of my sisters. Imbolc is an ancient Celtic festival
that celebrates the goddess Brighid and the
beginning of Spring. I imagine more people than
we like to think, summer from the dark days of
Winter. The arrival of Imbolc Eve on February first
and Imbolc on February second, always gives rise
to that glorious hope of light returning. Metaphor
that it may be for some, searching for the light
every single day, in every single manner, is a
most positive way to live. I wish for us all, a
light-filled Spring!

so longing for spring
dark days of winter ending
light and hope return
