Feeling
lovely waking up and remembering that it was Imbolc; a beloved day.
Spending
some time practising 'nature mindfulness' with a small person; two
wonderful pied wagtails were her favourite things that we saw. They
are such delicately delightful and happymaking birds. I have it in
mind to weave a gentle and anxiety-reducing meditation from this
small connection with them today.
A
pale winter sun casting a sea of stunning light across the afternoon.
The
beginnings of a truly beautiful display of spring flowers on the
Green. They have been a bit out of sync this year but today they were
really starting to look lovely. Most years they seem to come out all
at once overnight and I nearly fall over with the shock of their
sudden beauty as I'm running for the bus!
Having
a hot chocolate as a treat. Yum!
Spending
most of the day looking at, or thinking about, snowdrops.

Much
sharing of snowdrop poems. I love the inspiration that they bring
with their brave journey through the winter ground. And I love that
they are mostly little anarchic garden escapees. Who ever said that
being small makes you powerless; just ask a snowdrop, or a robin!

An
extraordinary conversation with Himself. There are many days when I
am in awe of his wisdom, which seems to just bubble up in him like
water from a sacred spring. And he will dig and dig like the badger
shaman that he is until he finds the answer to bring healing and
peace. He is real and I am blessed. That is all.
The
cool deliciousness of coconut water.
Listening
to Imbolc songs all day and then moving on to to Hildegard of Bingen.
Sweet and tender power and beauty for my ears and heart.
Learning
deep, and I hope lasting, lessons about how my energy ebbs and flows
and how I need to best look after myself.
And
that it is Candlemas tomorrow; I love the beauty and sweetness of
these days that so celebrate light and drink them in with every cell
of my being.
