Oh my God, an Earth Day never to be
forgotten! I would be the first to admit
that for once, the prep was nigh onto
as much fun as the celebration.
Upon awaking at o' dark thirty, I came
downstairs and spent an hour or so
cleaning out the fire pit so that we'd
have a virgin fire. Out to the trash w/six
bags of ash and 5 or so inches snow.
A sweep and a cleanse, a lighting of
candles, a selection of special music,
and I called down my guy to make
the fire. You can have no idea just
how difficult it is to make a fire w/
wet virgin wood, bark and all. The
idea was to keep the fire as original
as possible for collecting the sacred
ash on the morrow.
My sweet man purchased and gifted
fresh grapes for our outdoor friends.
Birds of all kinds, chipmunks, black
squirrels . . . and a mapache (raccoon)
that is driving him absolutely batty!
Me thinks, they adore him!
Then, began the sharing of messages
with friends of like lovings of Mama
Earth! Those thoughts, memories,
poetry shared and longings . . . naught
like it! I am ever so fortunate to have
women such as these in my life!
I have to laugh at our digging through
over a foot of snow to find that odd bit
of natural wood to bring to the fire.
Thank the gods that the fire was hot
enough to burn thoroughly wet wood!
And, what a gorgeous fire it was the
entire day . . . ashes await the morn!
Will there ever be another Earth Day
such as this . . . I wonder?! I pray, I
be there . . .
my dear mother earth
me so loving our lady
pray tell how to serve
