The closing of Winter but not yet Spring
Seeing these first cheerful snowdrops are like a baby’s first smile or child’s pose after your third vinyasa, a very welcome sight!
We know the turning of the season is still a few months off but celebrating the potential of Spring has been something communities have marked for generations such as the festival of Imbolc.
I particularly love that Imbolc is Irish for ‘in the belly’ A reminder that brighter days are coming.
So perhaps you will join me over the next few days in slowing down to reflect. take pause to notice the small buds on the trees and the first blooms of the year.
Not because we have arrived but because we’re on our way.
We gently cleanse and soften the first layers of soil.Warming the ground giving it a knock
Continuing to tend the fire until the warmth of the sun returns.
