Spring Solstice

[image from crystallinks.com]

For some time, now,

Traveler has been

watching the days lengthen,

welcoming the

extra light,

morning and evening,

putting

behind her

the difficult winter,

which has birthed

the beginning

of her next journey.

Now comes

the putting away

of the old

and

the welcoming

of the new.

Now comes

increased ease,

and Possibility.

What gestated

all winter,

bathed

in her tears,

now brings

to fruition

all that was

making its

difficult passage.

Traveler

sets aside

what no longer

serves her.

She prepares

herself

with hope

and relief

for  renewal,

a lightening

of spirit.

She flows

with the emergence

of a new cycle

with trust,

with grace,

and enormous

gratitude,

knowing that

all is

as it

should be,

a time of

letting go,

a time of

stripping down,

a time of

being true

to one's own spirit

and its needs.
