Spring has sprung!
Having finished my 7th book for my initaiton I chose to mot attempt to squeeze in an 8th before my initiation date. I did, however, want to maintain that commitment of action so my mentor suggested that I meditate more, do some rituals and try to get back into my land stewardship more now that things are becoming more accessible again.
Today I took some offering out to my chosen spot. It was truly wonderful to get out and spend some quiet time reconnecting. I still marvel at how much I get out of it. It's so simple and yet it is as if being in this material, secular modern world somehow robs me of the memory of what I need and where I belong.
I rejoiced today to see mosquitoes already alive and buzzing atop the snow. Soaking in the warmth of the sunbeams. I listened to the ice creaking and the water gurgling beneath and wept.
I have always taken it as my personal sign of Spring when I see my first robin of the year. Today I was gifted with the sight of 2. Life finds a way.
