Today is the Celtic celebration of Imbolc, a fire festival which marks the beginning of Spring's return. The earth begins to awaken from the frozen time of winter opening herself to receive the seeds of new life and new birth. This day is also associated with Brigid, the goddess of the hearth and poetry(creativity). People across the globe are celebrating today either with friends or on their own.
This day calls me to look at what is awakening in my life. There are pieces which have been left frozen and unused for years. The earth of my being is starting to thaw. The ground of my soul is preparing to receive the seeds of new life. I am becoming the gardener of my life in a way I have never been before.
As the winter recedes and the spring begins to creep into my heart, I trust that Brigid will stand beside me. Together we will tend to what is beginning to grow and take root. I am blessed by her presence and give thanks for her continued watchfulness.
