The Irises open their hearts toward the beneficent Spring sunshine.
–––
This is the time of the great opening here upon the mountain.
It is possible to sense the shimmering gratitude of all the infinite variety; the countless magnificent expressions of that one life source.
It is here at the meeting point of the seasons that the ineffable spark of life is most manifest.
There is no coincidence to Beltane and the other primaveral festivals happening at this time.
In the none too distant past, we were so much closer to the encompassing ecology, we knew these things as instinct born of our humanity.
Today nature celebrates along with us.
