Far too long...

It has been far too long since my last post. I apologize. Unfortunately, I ran into a horrible stint of writer's block! I have been trying and trying to come up with a interesting topic for all my readers. Even as I write this I am still sorting through different topics.

I was given the suggestion, via facebook, to write about how I find the Goddess in the dead of winter when everything is covered in snow (or in the case of this winter, covered in mud!). I do believe that this topic has won out among the others which just don't seem nearly interesting enough!

It is easiest to find the Goddess at night when the moon is hanging serenely in the sky and her light washes over everything beneath her. But during the day when I look out and see the dead mud browns of winter, the leafless tress (which I find beautiful in their own way), and nothing but biting cold it tends to be a little harder to find her beauty. Everything slumbers, even a majority of the wildlife (if you can call the city animals wildlife ^_^) nestles into their burrows and nests, sleeping away the cold.

Occasionally there are indoor plants to remind you that spring is just around the corner (We don't have any at the moment. We just moved into our new house and indoor plants were just not a priority at the time.). Now is the time when the earth itself is sleeping. Renewing herself for the coming seasons. Preparing to offer us the bounty of foods that we so depend on throughout the year. Now is the time to plan gardens and rest, just like our mother earth. That is how I find the Goddess in the dead the of winter.

Now, at this time in the season I should be planning out my garden, picking and sorting through seeds and other plants. But this year...I know that I will have too much going on this year to spend my spring/summer buried in my garden. That and...well... I rarely get to get out of my bed as it is right now. But soon enough we will be welcoming our newest family member into our lives and we will all be consumed with nurturing and caring for our new arrival.

So next year I will get to have my glorious garden. That is the wonderful, and sometimes scary, part of life... plans change and evolve. I am so excited for this new path to start.


Blessed Be
