“Love the Winter, when the plant says nothing. In this mystic season, I want to remember to unplug the flashing lights and sip the long evenings, to breathe in the moon, dance in the dark, to love this Winter nothing.” - Thomas Merton . Of course, it’s silly to refer to Winter in the Pacific Northwest as nothing. I’ve lived in other parts of the country where Winter is a difficult and dangerous and a thoroughly dormant ordeal. Winters out here on the Olympic Peninsula don’t even rate on that scale, but they are very mystical. This morning, I had a very important business meeting to attend. The clouds rolled in quickly, the rain poured heavily, forming fast puddles on already saturated soil. Happily, I was indoors for once. . Just as quickly as it arrived, the rain stopped and the sun burst forward (actually a rare occurrence in Winter here). . But despite the recent appearance of the earliest of Spring (Winter) bulbs, much of the natural habitat is still dormant. It can be tough to love the sleepy old bones of the trees and last year’s perennial flower stems, but every form has its function. And rest is critical for good health. . Next month I’ll begin to clear out the old from the garden - I favor Spring cleaning to Fall. In the meantime, all of last year’s debris prevents those rainbow-making rain drops from slamming their heavy hands directly onto the unprepared soil. . . . . . Thank you, Chuck Holland, for this beautiful Thomas Merton quote. And thank you, @meljentzsch for your time this morning...We’re SO looking forward to the next steps! #rainbow #friday #winter #january2020 #honoringthesacred #winterbeauty #norainnoflowers #norainnorainbow #pacificnorthwest
The Great Wheel of Life continues to turn as we move into late January. Signs of Spring are everywhere. The Pacific Northwest closely parallels large portions of Great Britain in weather and climate, making it so easy to follow the Celtic Pagan (the tradition that runs through my ancestral lineage) Calendar. Following that great wheel, Spring arrives with the celebration of Imbolc during the first week of February. . These Spring Crocus bulbs poised to burst open agree - Spring is about to arrive. . . . . . . #spring #bulbs #gardening #crocus #celticpagan #imbolc #pacificnorthwest
