Today, for the first time since arriving back in California in early March, the sun was warm enough for me to have my coffee and pray with the bees. I’ve written about the importance of speaking with the bees in my life, and I’ve missed my time with them. Granted, I did have on three sweaters, but there was no chill in the air. Instead, I could feel a warmth radiating up from the ground, an energy pulsing from deep within the earth that seemed to whisper, “I’m waking up.” The bees were active, as were the birds. I could smell the bark of the trees, the blades of grass, and the fresh dirt. Yet, I was expecting this, for today is the first full moon after the spring equinox. A cosmic event that always signals the rebirth of the world.
Thank you for this beautiful piece, Nicole. We’ve just finished our Easter festival here at Ängsbacka, where I live (in Sweden) and I feel the truth of it, with our land and all beings coming back to life after the long winter. May our human community feel this rebirth as we integrate the darkness we’ve been through in the past years. 🌿
