The Spirit of Spring

Out of the long sleep of Winter, Spring emerges.

She rested and gathered energy all throughout the quiet Winter until the time came for her to awaken and make her presence known once again.

Spring is Hope-full.

She is a Lightening of Spirit, a Re-affirmation of Life.

Here in the U.S. we celebrate Thanksgiving in November after the harvest is in and the bounty is shared. But, for me Spring is always a time of thanks-giving as well; a time to express my Gratitude to the Universe for all the life and beauty of which I am a part.

When the Spring peepers begin to chorus, when the Canadian geese return, when the snowdrops and crocuses bloom and I wake in the morning to birdsong, I feel a visceral connection with Spring.

I AM Spring.

I am the greening grass, the tiny buds, the flower stalks pushing their green heads above the moist Earth. I am the sweet, damp Spring air and the warming sun rising in the East each morning.

So, I invite you to take time to walk out your door and into Spring.

Breathe OUT Winter-weariness. Breathe out apathy, doubt, sadness.

It's okay.

The Universe will accept these negative energies and turn them instead into all that we need to nourish us.

Breathe IN the Lightening of Spirit. Breathe IN the Re-affirmation of Life.

Breathe IN Gratitude for all the Beauty of which you are a part.

You ARE Spring.

In Peace and Joy,
