MOTHER AWAKENS! She stirs, sending forth shoots and leaves! (Art by Hallelujah Truth) |
Below are inspirational words from Marian Spadone that I found in my calendar, We'Moon 2013, Gaia Rhythms for Womyn. Enjoy!
SPRING EQUINOX
Mother awakens!
She
stirs, sending forth shoots and leaves,
whispering
sweet desires,
coaxing
forth all who seek release
from the bonds of Winter's Night.
tiny
in the still fathomless darkness.
Now
like the bird in the eggshell,
we've
swelled to fill the space.
Our
world grows tight, cramped.
We
feel anxious, our resources nearly gone.
Time
to peck our way out
and
claim the promise of Spring.
How?
First,
notice and name WHAT BINDS YOU.
Name
the prisons
of
fearsome circumstance, disillusionment, environmental crisis.
Notice
what feels stifled, blocked, hopeless.
Then
circle together to TURN IT AROUND!
Stir
and flex your power. Stretch and moan,
rock
and sing, and break free at the
peak.
Emerge
from the broken shell of winter.
Feel
lightened, lifted, determined
to
leave the old world in shards behind you.
Sparkling
and sovereign,
stride
into the GATEWAY,
between
the pillars,
one
light and one dark.
Unbound,
blessed and surging,
retrieve
the trust that comes with balance.
Thrive
in the burgeoning light.
THRIVE IN THE BURGEONING LIGHT! Break out of the boundaries that bound you! (Art by Hallelujah Truth) |

Acknowledgments: Thank you Sandy for giving me my first own copy of the We'Moon 2013, Gaia Rhythms for Womyn! Thank you Elizabeth Schowalter for your reminder that we need to give ourselves time to "winter" our beings and then "spring" from them when we are ready to awaken to a new way of being. Thank you Marian Spandone for your beautiful poem and all the work you do around honoring "death."
Happy Equinox. It's cool and cloudy today, predicted to go down to 28 tonight in Decatur, GA, but the hope is everywhere in new blooms.
