Ostara, surprises, sunshine, energy…bliss
The party was a hectic, energetic, crowded success…and it seemed that everybody had a great time. The greatest thing, and it wasn’t until after today that I realised this, was that everybody who was there had followed a dream that had brought them to this odd little island in the sea. Everybody had packed up everything they had ever known and moved to this place on a gut instinct and crossed fingers, and a belief that everything would work out. A party of adventurers, surrounded by the sea! It was inspiring.
And so many truly kind and beautiful people there as well, and after a winter of isolation, it was such a nice reminder that there are kindred spirits out there beyond this little farm. I really do forget sometimes.
Spring has gotten off to a wonderful start and I am so hopeful for what else may be to come… another realisation I came to today while feeling the sun shining so bright (although truthfully, the wind was wicked bitter and tore right through my gloves and coat)…is would the sun feel so lovely if it never went away? That maybe I need that holing up of winter, the cabin fever, and even the dark days of dreary feelings and hopeless sinking to be able to feel that renewed bliss flow through my veins. To appreciate it all…So maybe what I should be celebrating is not winter’s demise, but that winter visited just long enough for me to feel despair, so that I could once again feel that euphoria. Not earthshakingly profound or anything, but it seemed right in my bones today.
I also made crow #7 into a necklace. I am in love with crow #7. I don’t know why…he just seems a quirky little fellow. I will post a pic of the necklace tomorrow. I also want to go to the seashore and take photos, but not sure if there is enough time to do that…hope so! Will post some of those too, if I make it there.
