We are now experiencing some days that bring a subtle breeze telling us that we have turned a corner and spring is approaching. 

We can feel joyful feelings awakening within us, feelings that bring a hope that naturally comes with rebirth. 

We are reminded of our resilience, the inner strength that we have to carry our souls inwardly through the dark months. We are always being, and always becoming. Each moment necessarily creates the next, and we are creating a dance with the world. The joy of spring is a joy that unites our souls with the world. We, together, feel hope, faith and comfort in the return of the light.
 
How do you experience the approaching spring in your soul life?

The joy of becoming arises
Out of the world's womb,
Quickening the senses' brilliance
Mat it find my force of thinking,
Fortified by the divine powers
Living powerfully within me.

Intention: This week, I will feel within my soul the burgeoning joy of knowing that rebirth is possible at any stage of my life, and I will allow my soul to dance with the becoming of the seasons. I will experience the inner optimism that this brings.

Ohhh! The long and drawn out days of winter!!  

We've got this! You've got this! 

Haven't we done this so many times before? Made it through the darkness of winter?! Yet, why does it feel so difficult at times? 

When nature is sleeping, it is like a death on the earth. Without the glory of nature to lift our Spirits, we must each do it for ourselves, and for each other. 

It is actually exactly what is being asked of us each year, at this time. That we recognize how powerful we truly are. Even though all of nature is deeply asleep, we humans are soulfully wide awake. We are learning, reflecting, remembering, thinking, feeling, creating, connecting and loving. 

We are truly amazing beings!!

The world threatens to numb
My soul’s inherent powers.
Therefore, step forth memory,
Shining from depths of spirit,
Strengthen my vision
That only by strength of will
Is able to sustain itself.

Intention: This week, when I feel the tiredness of too much winter, I will remember that, within this winter, I am the one, through my inner spirit, who supplies the warmth and the light that sustain me.
