"And spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the spirit of love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on earth's dark breast
Rose from the dreams of its' wintry rest... "
The Sensitive Plant by P .B. Shelley
I love this romantic poem, how it evokes the wonderful mystery of life force returning in nature and as a metaphor for an inner re-awakening that is powerfully possible at vernal equinox.
I am sharing some favourite images that I like to meditate upon as we approach the tipping point into spring; rich in symbolism, depicting the Pagan goddess Eostre re-birthing and re-animating the land.
This can be fully observed in the green lanes of Glastonbury; hawthorn tips, nettles beginning to grow, and glorious symphonies of birdsong that are an enticement to open all windows and doors and fully receive nature's sound bath, despite the still chilly weather.
