Freya's Return
In Fall Freya left us
travelling southward.
Now she returns again,
bringing soft words.
Out of her golden hair
spring flowers fall
tumbling like melodies,
sounding the call.
------Scandinavian song
After a couple of beautiful sunny days here I am beginning to feel the whispers of Spring emerging. This is that turning point in mid-winter when we are getting a little tired of the dark, the cold, the gray. This is when we need to listen and look for small signs of the muse awakening. If you stay open to the sights and sounds around you ; you will find her. Follow her when you do!

ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful reminder! The cold and snow just make me want to hibernate so much, but you are so right! We are starting to see the signs of life returning. If we go to sleep now, we will miss it!!
