"The changing seasons represent the mutable quality of Earth. In the story of Genesis, the Earth and the Heavens were one in the beginning. Thus the changing contains the unchanging within it. The dark womb of space contains the sun. Even though the leaves of springtime were mulched back into the Earth in the fall, it was to bring about the new life after the winter. Summoning the energies of Heaven and Earth reconnects us with the natural cycles of our lives. But most important, it allows us to embrace the mother who will always nurture us and the father who will never leave us." Shaman Healer Sage

Happy Spring Equinox! A Time for Renewal and Celebration of New Life!
In the Northern hemisphere the Spring Equinox (March 20th) symbolizes the start of spring and has long been celebrated as a time of regeneration, rebirth and renewal of Nature herself. The Spring Equinox brings us a balance of day and night, light and darkness, and therefore it is a time to balance every aspect of our life, including feminine and masculine energies.
In many old traditions, spring is associated with the East direction, where the sunrise brings us fresh beginnings of each new day. It is a time of renewed hope that life will be blessed with new creations and positive energies. It is a time to awake our inner light and focus on growth of our dreams and aspirations that have been contemplated during the winter quietude and are ready to emerge now.
Let’s celebrate Mother Earth’s and our personal renewal by honoring the light within each other, by participating in purifying ceremonies, by lighting a candle, by making offerings to Earth, and by mindful appreciation of the emergence of new life cycle. Let’s celebrate Life and Light!

“Spirituality is recognizing and celebrating that we are all inextricably connected to each other by a power greater than all of us, and that our connection to that power and to one another is grounded in love and compassion.”

― Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are

Painting: New Dawn, Nuevo Amanecer: "A family kneels before lighted candles in the corn field at dawn. 'This painting represents gratitude to God for a new day,' says Guatemalan artist Paula Nicho Cumez. 'Our fathers and forefathers taught us to give thanks to our creator for letting us breathe another day, for giving us the opportunity to live and be better day by day. I painted the children because it's important that we teach them gratitude, no matter our culture or belief. Giving thanks is universal. The colors of the candles are also symbolic – red for blood, blue for the sky, yellow for our dark Maya complexion and white for bones and for purity. I set the scene in the corn field because this is one of the foods that is always present on the table in Guatemala." courtesy of artemaya.com

We can connect to the Soul of the World through our senses . The sense literaly bring the world inside our body. For instance when you walk in the forest fully aware : you feel the soft earth with your feet , you see the colours, the light filtered through the leaves, you smell the plants and trees and the moisture of the air , you hear the wind making the leaves sound like waves and the sounds of animals and birds, you can taste berries and the sweetness of the air, you can touch a tree and feel its juices moving in it's trunk , you can sense the vibration everywhere, you can even feel with you heart-sense the beings of the elemental kingdom around you . That is all taken into our body .
And then at home , or in the forest with eyes closed you can imagine - image in all things you sensed . This imagining is the work of your Soul and it ads your very own vibration to the image of the world . Thus your Soul and the World Soul connect , thus you co-create with the Soul of the World.
Deep munay to all .

"May all the healers of the earth find their own healing.
May they be fueled by passionate love for the earth.
May they know their fear but not be stopped by fear.
May they feel their anger and yet not be ruled by rage.
May they honor their grief but not be paralyzed by sorrow.
May they transform fear, rage, and grief into compassion and the inspiration to act in service of what they love.
May they find the help, the resources, the courage, the luck, the strength, the love, the health, the joy that they need to do the work.
May they be in the right place, at the right time, in the right way.
May they bring alive a great awakening, open a listening ear to hear the earth's voice, transform imbalance to balance, hate and greed to love. Blessed be the healers of the earth.
—Starhawk, writer/activist/earth healer

Art: "Making the Water," (A Spirit works with Grandfather Sun to make water for the Earth) by my friend, ©Colleen Gray (Metis: Mik'maq/Irish, Canada) who offers her good medicine through The Art For Aid Project that "raises funds to help supplement the costs of replenishing the art supply cupboards in Canadian First Nations, Inuit and Metis schools. We do this through the sale of artwork. Each year we choose prints to sell at a reduced cost to raise money for this initiative." Please visit her FB page and her website and support this worthy cause. http://www.rawartists.org/colleengray.

There are alternative news feeds to restore your spirit:

Stars over Lake Superior
Crocuses rising in a patch
of winter turning to spring grass

Cottonwood tree buds resining
Redwing blackbird chorus at dawn
Snowflakes on a branch

The book of nature is actually very good for you
It was not written by AI
it was written by CI- creative intelligence for the win!
It seeks restoration. Renewal. Life/death/life
It is infused with life force and dirt. Soil and wave. Bulb and regeneration. Stories and bloom.
Beauty. Goodness. And Truth.

Don’t forget your daily dose.
I would prescribe it at least three times daily.
Rx Nature
